Kiki Swinson was born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia. She discovered her flair for writing after completing her first novel, “Mad Shambles,” while serving a five-year sentence at a federal prison. After being released in December 1996, Kiki later went on to self-publish “Mad Shambles.” Her passion for writing didn’t stop there.

Writing feverishly into the wee hours of the night, she completed her second novel, “Wifey,” which was published by Melodrama Publishing. After the success of “Wifey,” Kiki penned the sequels “I’m Still Wifey” and “Life After Wifey,” as well as “The Candy Shop” and “A Sticky Situation.” She has written 42 books since 2003.

Tiffany L. Warren is an author, playwright, songwriter, mother, and wife. Her debut novel, “What a Sista Should Do,” was released in June of 2005. Her second book, “Farther than I Meant to Go, Longer than I Meant to Stay,” was a national bestseller. She is also the author of “The Bishop’s Daughter,” “In The Midst of It All,” “Don’t Tell a Soul,” and “The Replacement Wife.”

In 2006, Tiffany and her husband, Brent, founded Warren Productions and released gospel musicals, “What a Sista Should Do” and “The Replacement Wife.” Tiffany is the visionary behind the Faith and Fiction Retreat. She has written eight adult books under her own name and nine young adult books under the name Nikki Carter.
