Nikki Rashan

About me:

Nikki Rashan brings a hip, realistic story of self-discovery in the revised novel Double Pleasure Double Pain. Double Pleasure Double Pain is the story of Kyla, a woman challenged by emerging affections toward Stephanie, a female classmate.

Having lived a rather charmed life, 26 year-old Kyla has remained undisturbed within the comfort zone of her supportive family, loyal sweetheart, and close-knit friends. But an unforeseen, yet heart-awakening physical attraction and emotional bond forms between Kyla and Stephanie. What will Kyla do?

Readers can relate to the comical conversations Kyla shares with her friends, connect with her thoughts as she silently questions life's everyday activities, and empathize with her as she struggles with the unfamiliar.

You Make Me Wanna, the sequel to Double Pleasure Double Pain, will be released in AUGUST 2009.

More about ME....

I'm the mom of teenage twin girls; life is mighty fascinating with them at this age. When they graduate from high school in 2012, I'll be relocating to a warmer, but undecided location. Miami is currently at the top of my possibilities. Aside from my love of writing, I think I'm a closet photographer. I'll explore that later in life. :) I love mint chocolate ANYTHING, though I don't eat it as much as I used to. My vices include Mountain Dew & cappucinos, a sincere love for my cell phone (internet all day!), certain reality shows, and sleep.

I love to people watch and get to know others on a one-on-one level. I'm fascinated with people and relationships and how complex/beautiful/complicated/meaningful they can be. I'm very down to earth, a little goofy, sometimes moody, and really silly at times. I can be serious and deep and always want to know what lies beneath the surface of individuals. What's on the inside? That's what I want to know...

Quickly: I l-o-v-e a tasty martini, uplifting quotes, angels, going to the movies, myspace, travel (want more!), CHICAGO, stickshifts, reading, and makeup. Cooking isn't my specialty though I try. I love music and am grateful for Brandy's emails of songs to keep my day going. I gave up meat in 2007 but went back to seafood in 2008. Recently I learned that crabs are boiled alive; I never knew that! Just cruel and I wish they didn't taste so good but they do.... I took 6 1/2 years of Spanish, yet can't speak it fluently. I will someday. I love sitting at the lake...it's the most calming and peaceful place for me to be. "The Closer I Get to You" (Donny & Roberta) is my all-time favorite song. I have hands that won't soften no matter how much hand cream I put on. When I get manicures, the manicurist is always like, "Wow, do you play sports?" It's so funny. Two dreams: 1- be the love interest in a music video; that would be so fun! 2- watch a live taping of Saturday Night Live. And finally, each day I try to dedicate some time and energy to making all my dreams a reality. Like Christina said, it keeps gettin' better. :)
