Chencia C. Higgins is just a girl from Texas who has made it her mission to create stories in which sassy, southern Black women are loved out loud. In 2019, she won a Romance Slam Jam Emma Award for her debut paranormal romance Janine: His True Alpha. When she isn't hunkered down in her writing cave, she can be found with her nose in a book, saving recipes on Pinterest for things she'll never make, and dreaming about traveling even further south for the winter.
