Mafia Mistress Cover!!! and How I got the idea for the book.
I'm so excited! The cover to Mafia Mistress: The 2nd Book in the Mafia Series, will be finished soon. I have the book itself submitted so all that needs finished is the cover. Mafia Mistress will be released August 1st. It is the sequel to Mafia Princess: The 1st Book in the Mafia Series. If you haven't read it head over to Amazon and search Nikki Kitchen or Mafia Princess. The cover has a clover on it. You can read the first 2 1/2 chapters. If you like it the ebook is $2.99 and the paperback is $12.99. I would love to hear from my readers so after you read the book send me an email, message me on facebook, or contact me on goodreads.

You can also leave me a review on Amazon. I read them and sometimes I make a comment.
Mafia Princess is the first book I've published. It is the first in a four book series. I have a few other books I'm working on. One is a western, another is a fish out of water American Indian story. One book that I'm half way finished with is set in medieval times. Another that I've worked a little on is a time travel book.
The idea of the Mafia Series came to me in a dream, which is how most of my book ideas came to me. When I was pregnant with my son I had some crazy dreams and somehow they turned into books. In Mafia Mistress there is a scene when Nora and Nathan are in a salvage yard with a helicopter. I dreamt that scene and the more I thought about it the more the characters morphed from me, my family, and friends, into the characters that are in the book, and a year or more later I started writing Mafia Princess.
There is a giveaway ending on July 12th for an autographed copy of Mafia Princess. There are 3 copies up for grabs. I'm going to do a 3 book giveaway of Mafia Mistress soon. The winners will receive Mafia Mistress: The 2nd Book in the Mafia Series, before it's released, depending on how far away from Utah the winners live. If they live across country or out of the US the book may take a little longer to get to them. Right now the Mafia Princess giveaway is only open to the US and Canada but I'm going to see about opening up Mafia Mistress to the UK and Australia too. I'm not promising anything except I will look into it.

Mafia Mistress Preorder
I'm still getting the hang of this publishing thing. I set the release date for Mafia Mistress for August 1st but since I approved the proof of the book it automatically went on sale. I've done what I can to fix the problem. I had to unselect all of the distributors and I'll recheck them in time for August 1st. The paperback isn't available for preorder but the ebook is. Head over to Amazon and take a look. Just search Mafia Mistress.
Mafia Princess is still in the giveaways. The giveaway ends July 12th.
Mafia Mistress is in the giveaways until July 22nd.
There are three copies of each and all books will be signed.
I've been working on the 4th book in the Mafia Series. It's been a while since I've found the time and it hasn't been flowing but luckily the stars have lined up and I've gotten through a few chapters in the last few days. Hopefully I'll finish by the middle of July and then work on editing Mafia Queen The Third Book in the Mafia Series.
I would love to hear from my readers so if you've read Mafia Princess send me a message.

Prizes every Friday!
Every Friday this month I'm going to post a question on my Facebook page. Answer the question and you could win the chance to read the first 3 chapters of Mafia Queen!
Mafia Queen is the 3rd book in the Mafia Series. The first and second books are avaliable now. Mafia Princess and Mafia Mistress
Mafia Queen will be released in November and is available for pre-order on Amazon for $2.99. I'm trying to set up a giveaway for Mafia Queen on goodreads but for some reason it's giving me trouble. Keep an eye out for it.
The 4th book will be titled Retired Mafia and it will be released in February. This is the last book in the series. I'm still writing this book and I hope to be finished soonish.
But don't worry! When I finish the Mafia Series I have other books I'll be working on!

Giveaways and Contests
There are a couple of fun things going on. The 4th book in the Mafia Series, Retired Mafia, comes out March 1st! Head over to Amazon and pre-order the eBook. Unfortunately you can't pre-order the paperback.
On Goodreads I'm having a giveaway but you better hurry! It ends this Friday, 19th.
There is also a contest on Facebook (search NAK Publication). You answer questions, share posts, and tell friends about the series to enter, so lots of ways to enter the contest. The winner will get a paperback of Retired Mafia. The rules are on the posts, along with the questions. All messages must reach me by Thursday, Midnight, MST, and you can answer all the questions in one message.
I'm working on the 5th, and final, book in the Mafia Series, family Mafia. I'm about 2/3 finished and I'm hoping to be finished by the end of the month so I can get it to my editor, then have the cover made. This book will be released June 1st, then I'll start researching for my next book. I have a few ideas in mind and a few books already started so it will be interesting to see which topic takes over my mind.
I'm excited to finish the Mafia Series and share my new books with all of you. Hopefully they will be received as well as the Mafia Series. I was a little worried when I first decided it was time to publish the series because I've never put myself out there like that but all of my readers have been wonderful and so positive. Thank you!

Future Giveaways and Interesting Books
My, Bethany, a lady's husband series, giveaway starts tomorrow, Sunday December 10 and runs through the 17th. This will be my last giveaway on Goodreads. I enjoy doing giveaways, especially when I release a new book but because of some changes I won't be able to anymore.
Goodreads has changed their giveaway policy and they are now charging authors quite a lot of money to list their giveaways. I will no longer be participating in these giveaways because I can't afford it. Starting in January I will be having all my giveaways on facebook so if you aren't following me look up NAK Publication-Nikki Kitchen.
I am currently working on a Scotland Highlander romance. It's really fun to research this time, though I'm sure I won't get everything right. These people were so interesting and I think it's sad how their way of life was almost wiped out after the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. I have recently found a fictional romance series that I love that is set during this time. If you're interested head to Amazon and check out Julia Brannon's Jacobite Series. Her sixth, and I believe, final book in the series is set to come out in early 2018. I'm impatiently waiting. There is some swearing and it's not entirely clean, but there aren't any extremely descriptive sex scenes. The author does a good job at historical accuracy, at least during the uprising portion of the books. My book is set during the early 1700s, not in the middle of the century so I won't be touching on the large uprising of 1745, though mine has more of the female point of view during the uprising of 1715, and again in 1719. Julia Brannon's series made me interested in the history of the time and when I started looking into it the idea for my book came about. I've only just started my book so it will be a few months before it's out but I'm excited. If you're looking for a good read check out the Jacobite series.
Also, an author that I'm obsessed with is Eleanor Meyers. I love her regency romance series. There are so many books in her series and she tries to come out with a new one every month. The stories are entertaining and a lot of fun, and only $.99 each. I highly recommend them, though you will find a few errors, which I find easy to overlook.
