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.

Reviews
I would love to know what you think about the Mafia Series. There are some ratings but I'd like more. If you've read the books please consider rating it and writing a review. If you've already rated the books go back and write a review. I know what my family and friends think but now I'd like to know what you think. I'm also curious about how you found the books so if you wouldn't mind mention that in your review. I read all of them and I try to comment, though I don't comment on all of them. One more thing, if you like the books tell a friend and share Nora's story. The ebook is available on Amazon and you can get the paperback on createspace.com and Amazon.
Mafia Princess and Mafia Mistress are available now and Mafia Queen will be released on November 2nd.

Mafia Series and all the changes
I have made a few changes to my Mafia Series. First, because I haven't had time, and the book has not been flowing as well as I'd like, book four's, Retired Mafia, release date has been pushed back to March 1st instead of February 1st. I'll still have a giveaway, which will start January 19th. I know this is an inconvenience but I feel that it can't be helped. I also like the idea of the book being released in March, St Patrick's Day!
Second, last night while I was writing I looked down at page 473. Book four would have been 550-600 pages and I really don't like the idea of the last book being twice the size of the other three books in the series. So... I have decided to split this book. There will be five books in the Mafia Series. I feel this is a positive because the last book was feeling rushed and I felt like I was pushing past things that should have had more detail and I should have spent more time on. I feel like I was hurrying past things and condensing them so I could fit everything into the book. Now I have time and room to fit everything in. I feel this is a negative because I have no idea what I'm going to name the fifth book. I'm also inconveniencing my wonderful friend who designs my book covers. Thank goodness she has patience with me.
Check back in a few weeks for my book giveaway and you can head over to my Facebook page now for a chance to win a Sneakpeak at book four.
I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all of you the best in the New Year.

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!
