About Me

Author Nina Foxx

I'm originally from Jamaica, New York, but now residing in San Antonio, Texas with my family. I've lived all over the country but I consider myself a citizen of America. Graduated from Hunter College and Baruch College and earned a graduate literary fiction certificate from the University of Washington. In my spare time I help support the Austin Writers League and the Girls Scouts. I'm a proud member of Jack & Jill of America, The Links, Inc and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
I have authored Six published novels, five of which have been published by HarperCollins/Avon books. I also co-authored one non-fiction book entitled Do The Write Thing: 7 Steps to Publishing Success, and hada short Story published in ananthology by Putnam. I have also written columns for BlackWords Online and an occasionally review for Black Issues Book Review.
