Kiki Swinson was born and raised in Virginia. She discovered her flair for writing after completing her first novel entitled Wifey, which was based on her life and published in 2004. It earned her the #1 spot on the Essence bestseller list a month after its release. The Wifey series has sold well over one million copies.
De’nesha Diamond burst onto the scene as the coauthor of the gritty Desperate Hoodwives tales. The Essence magazine recommended series has taken the street-lit game by storm and paved a brand new path for the edgy Memphis native. Understanding that there is a fine line between glorifying thug life and telling it like it is, De’nesha Diamond spins cautionary tales inspired by personal experience and the heartbreaking stories that make our nightly news. In the end, she aims to deliver hope, even if sometimes there are no rides in the golden sunset.
