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."

I have been waiting for the following the Wifey series and anticipating this book's relase for a year and some days. I must say I am disappointed. With all the hell and situations that Kyra has experienced, how could she be so open about where she was staying when she was in Virginia, or how could she not pick up that Tony had an actual vendetta seeing as his son dimed him out? It's like she was money smart but she was still short when it came to the actual streets. I didn't get that. She knew not to disclose her past to her "NEW" future inlaws, but she didn't think Tony had something up his sleeve? Well, I hope there is not a part 6 cuz now it's just getting to be a chore vs a treat. I need Kira to be smarter on the next go round.

Kiki's done it again. Absolutely loved this one. Drama, Drama, Drama. Hearthumping rollercoaster ride of a book. Kira is something else I tell you. I read this one in about 5 hours total. Ms. Swinson really knows how to keep you interested and involved in her stories. This book didn't get boring at any point. It was straight page after page of action. I commend her for bring the street drama with realness and passion. I look forward to ANY future reads from Ms. Swinson in the future. A die-hard fan am I for life. So don't hesitate in picking this title up and all the rest of Ms. Swinson's books. She just doesn't disappoint and the material is always fresh. Keep it coming Ms. Swinson because i'm ready for the next one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Truly Disappointed, February 24, 2010

Kira...Kira...Kira... I am probably at my wits end thinking about Miss Kira and all of the ways she has cheated death during the Wifey series. I think it's time to leave well enough alone. As much as I don't want there to be another book, I am pretty sure that there will be. The question will simply be who is going to resurface from her past in the next book. Definitely don't want to knock Miss Swinson, I think she is a brilliant writer and she did a helluva job creating Kira's character - I just think at this point, this story is stretched out way too much. Since the title was Wifey 4 Life, I thought the book was going to go in the direction of her new life and man in Anguilla - I would have preferred to read about that instead of rehashing things she did in the past two years.
