"Abuse"......It's Not Going To Define Me!
"Why did I write this type of book?"
Abuse, and bullying is so much alive in this world today. Behind the closed doors there is fear, torment and women and children being beaten down. They are afraid to tell someone, or the people that may know what is happening; just don't care. "How is it that I can speak upon these things?" Because I am a victim of abuse and domestic violence. I was dating a younger man, that would beat me for no reason, just because he could. I have been accused of cheating, and got beaten. I have had a gun held to my head for hours at a time. One day I managed to get away from that abusive relationship, to only end up in another. I thought this guy was different. He bought me nice things, paid all my bills, but yet he still was an abuser. One day I had just had enough; and would rather die than to keep being battered and bruised and sexually assaulted. I found my way out, through strength and God. Writing became my escape, my future, my voice and my life. See you can come up out these situations and have a normal life. Prayer, determination and people who care became my support. I want to take what I have learned to maybe be able to help someone else. So this book is the voice speaking for those who can not speak for themselves.

The #2 question I get asked: How do I publish my book?
I’ve written an extensive post on this: How to Publish a Book 101 so go there for the full details. Below is a short version.
Go direct to the ebook publishers if you are able. Amazon KDP for Kindle, Kobo Writing Life, Barnes & Noble PubIt for Nook. Then use a distributor like Smashwords or Bookbaby for the rest of the ebook stores (or you can use them for everything if you want the easy route).
Use print-on-demand if you want a print book. When choosing a company to self-publish with please be careful and check out the company at Preditors & Editors listing which reports on all the scams and companies that will rip you off. Personally, I would recommend Amazon’s own Createspace,LightningSource, Blurb and Lulu.

The #3 question I get asked: How do I write/ edit a book?
Here’s how to get your first draft material out of your head and onto the page, and here’s how the editing and rewriting process works after that first draft.
I recommend and use Scrivener software for writing my books.

Through her independent publishing company NCM Publishing; Ni’cola published her debut novel entitled OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Much of her work revolves around situations that are a compulsive desire to see women over come challenges. Her next novel THE APPETIZER, when you’re not his main course will be released February 2010.
Ni'cola Mitchell is originally from Kingston, Jamaica. Currently she resides in North Las Vegas, Nevada with her two daughters, Destani and Diamond. She holds a Bachelors degree of Science in Business Management and is currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration in HealthCare Management.
Ni’cola is also a motivational speaker and consultant.

Her novel Over and Over Again was also featured in the top ten by EDC Creations Recommended Reading List for the 2009 fall season under Mainstream Fiction and Women’s Fiction. She is also a member of the national touring group the Literary Sistah’s. When Ni'cola isn't writing, she loves to spend time with her family and volunteer as a mentor for youth activities.
1. Would please introduce yourself to our readers and where u are from?
My name is Ni’cola Mitchell and I am originally from Kingston, Jamaica. I am a single mother of two daughters Destani age 16 and Diamond age 11. I am the CEO of NCM Publishing, and a member of the national tour group The Literary Sistahs. I am currently in graduate school, pursuing a degree in Healthcare Management. I am also a head coach of a youth football league cheer team.
2. How long have you been writing?
I have been writing all my life. I started off poetry and short stories.
3.What inspired you to become a writer?
This journey started from a dare when I graduated from college. Every time I think about it, it makes me laugh because I am still shocked and thankful for how far that I have come.
4.What genre do you write in?
Contemporary Fiction
5.What is the title of your latest novel?
The Appetizer, When You’re Not His Main Course.
6. How did you come up with the name and characters?
The Appetizer is a story centering my three main characters Nia, Yazmin, and Monae. They are three friends that live in Los Angeles, California. My God daughter is Yasmin, hence the name. Nia is a spin off character from my first novel Over and Over Again, and I always liked the name Monae.
All my characters are people that we all know. I just took life experiences and situations, and created this novel that will make you think throughout the entire duration of the book.
7. Without giving away too much, what is this book about?
Nia, even though beautiful, has many self-esteem issues. She is poor trying to find a man that is typically in a relationship, because she believes that they can provide a better life for her three children.
Yazmin is pregnant with twin babies, and is engaged to Trey. She is caring and loving, and will do anything for anybody. She believes that she has the perfect life until one night she has a near death experience, which resulted in her finding out a secret that will change her life for ever.
Monae is career minded and very focused. She is one of those people that we all know who can pass judgment on everyone around her, but never finds fault in her own self.
This book is a behind the scenes story of the mistress, and how one falls into this role. This book also will also shed light on how in some instances, the mistress doesn't even have a clue that she is a mistress until it is too late. It has so many twist and turns and very unpredictable. It will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire ride.
8.What has been your struggles and motivation?
My motivation is my children. There is not one particular struggle that has challenged my road that everyone else in life hasn’t faced, I just remember that and keep it pushing. God only give you what you can bear.
9.What entity outside of family and friends has been your support?
I have a small group of authors and publishers that has been my support system outside of my family and friends. It is always good to surround yourself with like minded individuals that has your best interest in mind.
10.What would you tell other aspiring authors?
The only advice that I have is too never get comfortable. Stay hungry, focused, versatile, and grounded. Remember, whatever God has given you, he can easily take away.

No one knew that behind her confident demeanor and designer labels, Porsche’s heart was broken almost beyond repair.

She soon finds herself crafting a master plan that would set the record straight and bring more than a few dirty deeds front and center, once and for all. Will Porsche forgive and forget or will she seek vengeance on the perpetrators she holds near and dear?
