About the Author
The Princess of "Hip Hop Fiction" is crowned Nikki. She brings a mellow swing to the genre with her debut title A Hustler's Wife. Only a couple of months on the shelves, A Hustler's Wife ranked #2 on the Essence Magazine Bestseller's list. Nikki's instanst success was no fluke. It's been #1 ever since.
Nikki Turner is a gutsy, gifted, courageous new voice taking the urban literary community by storm with her realistic characters, plots and settings. She is a self-accomplished writer, initially penning short stories before trying her hand at this debut novel.
Nikki developed a love for writing when her seventh grade English teacher gave her a journal. She started a life-long habit of putting her thoughts and feelings onto paper, which she still does to this very day.
A Hustler's Wife portrays the life of Yarni, a sweet and innocent girl from a well-to-do family. By chance she meets Richmond Virginia's notorious drug kingpin, Des. Immediately they develop an astronomical love, which separates her from her family and friends. But when Des is sentenced to life in prison, Yarni will learn being a hustler's wife isn't easy with her sole provider behind bars.
Travel with Yarni as she survives the life that love didn't allow her to predict. With the script now flipped and Yarni no longer living the lifestyle of the little wifey, she decides to join in on the game. At times she plays the game and at other times the game plays her. Her journey is filled with laughter, tears, failures, triumphs and perseverance.
A Hustler's Wife, although only a mere appetizer compared to what else the author has in store, to readers though, is a smorgasbord of manipulation, street-life, greed, betrayal, envy, money, power and revenge.
Nikki is currently putting the finishing touches on her next Triple Crown Novel, Project Chick. Look for it in stores November 2003.
