More About the Author

Born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, Kiki Swinson discovered her flair for writing twelve years ago after completing her first novel entitled "Mad Shambles," while serving a five year sentence at a federal prison for "being the wifey" of a known drug dealer. This charge is known as "knowing of and/or about a criminal-enterprise."

After being released in December 1996, she did a little research and learned about the success of authors such as Bebe Moore Campbell, Terry McMillan and Sheneska Jackson. She said, "DangÂ… these women got it going on. And if they did it, so can I!"

Ms. Swinson, 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 picked up and published by Melodrama Publishing. After the success of Wifey, there was an overwhelming demand for her to write a sequel. Her fans wanted more so Ms. Swinson decided to answer all unanswered questions. The result is a creative, gritty work of fiction entitled, "I'm Still Wifey."

This review is from: Still Wifey Material (Wifey, Part 4) (Paperback)

I just finished "Still Wifey Material". Surprisingly, I enjoyed reading this book. Mainly due to its fast pace (I completed it in 24 hours).

I can recall reading "Wifey" many years ago thinking "damn, that Kira is pretty dumb". Sadly, I completed "Still Wifey Material" thinking, "Kira truly IS dumb". How can an individual, escape death on numerous occasions and continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly?

Following her "disappearance" and now living in Houston, Kira is sitting on a hefty stash. She's driving a brand new car and operating a successful hair salon. What more could this airhead want? Clearly not content that she's living a comfortable life, Kira is still in pursuit of that almighty dollar. When will she ever learn?

Just when I thought, there was no individual more delusional than Kira, her juvenile cousin, Nikki steps up to the plate.

Nikki currently blames Kira for introducing her to the "life". She will do the unthinkable to attain more "success" than Kira when she propositions Kira's wealthy fiancé, Fatu. Unbeknownst to Nikki, she receives exactly what she deserves after she hooks up with Fatu. He's a manipulative, treacherous psychopath.

As far as absurdity, imagine Kira bumping into Francis in the Caribbean. What's hilarious is that she's still livid with Kira. As usual, Kira taunts Francis and a boxing match is swiftly approaching. Francis really needs to get over it. Ricky didn't give a hoot about neither of them.

I don't know whether to smack or embrace these shallow women. Also, when have these heifers ever been "wifey" material? Hell, when were any of their husbands, boyfriends or lovers WORTHY of "wifey" material. They are all dishonest, greedy and trifling.

I'm presenting "Still Wifey Material" with three stars. In general, it's not an awesome read but it tickled me nonetheless. I will definitely read the next installment. I will need to witness how the series plays out.

Ok... Kiki what happened? I was happy with the ending of the last book. Can you please let Kira go and write something new. I finished this book in like 1 day. The characters Nikki and Kira are a trip. There really isn't much to say about Fatu, there isn't enough information given plus he's stereotyped in the book pretty badly. What happened to him sweeping her off her feet. As I recall she didn't even like him. Also, Why is it never mentioned that he wears traditional clothing, he only wears designer brand?? First of all why doesn't Kira spend time with her soon to be in-laws? I myself am married to a Nigerian man and he isn't controlling and I love his mother. She treats me like I'm her own daughter. (He also wears traditional clothing and speaks in his native tongue.) Second, What the hell is Ricky's baby mama Francis doing resurfacing at the end. We really didn't need her back and Kira's move to a new country was a perfect ending to a horrible 4th part book.

This review is from: Still Wifey Material (Wifey, Part 4) (Paperback)

Still Wifey 4 holds your attention because you can't believe how dumb these women are and you keep reading hoping they will somehow redeem themselves. Even though Kira and Nikki are both somewhat wealthy they are still looking for men to take care of them. To me they are the epitome of stupid, money seeking tricks who just want to leech off a man, preferably a drug dealer. Kira and Nikki both are portrayed as weak and stupid. You wonder if they will ever grow up or if they will ever learn. One thing for sure, you pray that the people who are reading this story will learn that all that glitters ain't gold, and all that dirty money comes with too many problems. Wifey should grow up and act like a real woman and stop playing these childish games.

Come on Kiki give us another storyline.
