✦ Synopsis

Having no regards for people, their property and even her own life, Faith Simmons has done everything from selling off her life’s fortune, to selling her body, and stealing, all because of her sweet addiction for The Candy Shop. Looking back ten years, who would have ever thought that this well-respected and very well paid thirty-one year old assistant principal for a performing arts school would trade in her six-year marriage, a two-story brick home in a gated community and a 2007 Jaguar, for a body riddled with track marks and a substance that gives her a better feeling than sex. When that candy, as she knows it, finally runs out; she resorts to the ‘desperate times calls for desperate measures’ solution; which will have her playing Russian roulette with the angel of death. And sooner than later, these episodes will catch up with her, so she will be forced to make some life altering choices, but will it be too late?

Review

"After reading Candy Shop all I could say was scandelous!" -- K'Wan, National bestselling author of Gangsta, Street Dreams, Eve, Hoodlum, and Hood Rat

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, "Dag…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 and I’m Still Wifey, there was an overwhelming demand for her to write a trillogy. Her fans wanted more so Ms. Swinson decided to answer all unanswered questions. The result is a creative, gritty work of fiction entitled, “Life After Wifey.”
