Nikisha Mock

Author Nikisha Mock was born and raised in Thomasville, North Carolina and has had a passion for writing ever since the age of 8. Beginning with short stories and then poems, Nikisha says she knew from the start that writing was her first love. In high school Nikisha submitted poems to the school's weekly newsletter and was recognized in local writing contests for her poetry. Writing stories, however, has become the author's main focus.

"There's something about being able to tell a story that readers can relate too that just excites me," says Nikisha.

When asked what her motivation for writing her first book was, the author stated that her own life experiences with relationships was what prompted her to write the story although the book is purely a work of fiction. Her first published book, Love Me or Leave Me Alone, was released February 4, 2014. The publishing company True Visions Publications, one of many sub-companies of David Weaver, gave Nikisha the opening that she'd been waiting for. She gives credit to True Visions CEO's Nesha Mikell and Natissha Hayden for giving her the opportunity to show the world that she has something to say.

Nikisha currently resides in Greensboro, NC. She is a student at the illustrious North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. In her spare time, Nikisha enjoys listening to music, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
