Salacious II: Past to Present (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781722412852)

Mina Monroe is an avid writer and lover of the arts. Born and raised in New York City between the boroughs of Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn; she has seen a lot and been through a lot. Although dancing is her first love, writing became her outlet at a very young age. Being a shy young lady, writing was the only way she felt comfortable enough to express herself. It was a way for her to escape many of the harsh realities she faced growing up in a broken home due to drug addiction and other adult issues that affected her childhood. Middle School was when she began the art of story telling through her fiction and during class was when students would exchange and pass her stories around eager for more. This fixation to create and the feedback she received through her readers at a very young age only intensified once she began High School. Mina hated school and spent majority of her High School years skipping to go to TRL, 106th and Park or shopping in SoHo with fellow students. These were the perks of attending a High School that was smack in the middle of the busy New York streets. Never a follower, always a leader; she never believed in peer pressure. She is the author of Salacious, an erotic thriller about a young promiscuous woman whose life gets turned upside down by her vengeful twin sister, Valerie. Salacious II is the second and final chapter of the dueling twins. Another passion of Mina is helping others. She earned her Bachelors of Science in Psychology and is in the middle of her Master of Arts in Addictions Counseling. She hopes to have her own practice one day while still creating works of fiction and maybe some non-fiction in the future. Mina is always working on multiple projects at a time and is the master of multi-tasking. She currently lives abroad and enjoys watching movies, traveling, spending time with loved ones, dancing, meditating and tending to her craft. Mina Monroe - a woman of many talents and the Queen of Resiliency.
