Recently Published
I just received a couple of contributors copies of Fire Magazine (www.firemagz.com) and my poem What U Do is in the issue!! Even after being published in magazines several times I still get giddy when I see my name and my work in print. So, if you can check it out I cannot find the issue date on the cover however it is the one featuring Robin Thicke and Lil Scrappy.
I Won!!
I won 2nd place in the Feb. 07 "Lovelined" Poetry contest featured at Lyrics Inc. Magazine. My prizes consisted of a tee shirt, $25.00 and a certificate. Yes, I'm ballin!! I am sooo sorry for posting so late in the game becuz the poem was on their site but probably has been removed by now.
Finally
Finally I have made a decision concerning self-publishing my book, A Little Bit of Sin. It is in pre-production and should be available within four months, if I stay on deadline, which I am gonna try to do with all of my might. I do have a few concerns as far as the title. I did google the word 'Sin' and it is in quite a few urban titles right now so I am considering changing the name of the book. Originally, I titled the book Any Questions? I might be going back to that name. I am unsure right now. I am awaiting my editorial evaluation from iuniverse which is suppose to be a 10-20 page breakdown of my book. We will see. So at this time I am awaiting the eval and getting my marketing on online. I am also shopping for a company to do a book trailer. I believe I have found the company I want to use. Does any have any suggestions? If so, do tell. I am leaning towards SWK Designs. They are responsible for the book trailers for Alethea P's The Bag Lady and Jeff Rivera's Forever My Lady. I'm really diggin' both of those. I have taken professsional photos for press and my book cover and am drafting a press kit as we speak. I am trying to gear up for the release of my book. Any authors/writers out there wanna show a sistah some love with some suggestions....feel free. Smooches.....

The Intro...
Hello, my name is Nicole but I also go by the nickname Nikki. I am in the process of self-publishing 3 books. A childrens book entitled A New Dishwasher for Mama, a middle-grader chapter book entitled The Beautiful Onez and an adult novel entitled A Little Bit of Sin.
Currently, each book is in various stages of production. I'm searching for graphic designers for covers and looking for an illustrator. Both, Sin and The Beautiful Onez, are in the process of being edited for publication.
Give me some time and I'll post some blurbs describing the books and keep you up-to-date on what's going on with the process.
All comments are welcome!!
