Wahida Clark

Wahida Clark was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey. She decided to write fiction while incarcerated at a women's federal prison camp in Lexington, Kentucky. Crowned the “Queen of Thug Love Fiction” by Nikki Turner, the “Queen of Hip Hop Fiction” herself, Wahida’s style of writing is the template for urban literature. When you read her novels, they are so real that you are convinced of one of three things: you know the characters, you want to know the characters, or you are one of the characters. Her bestselling novels include Thug Matrimony, Every Thug Needs a Lady, Thugs and the Women Who Love Them, Payback Is a Mutha, and the novella Enemy in My Bed in Sleeping with the Enemy, all published by Kensington/Dafina Books.
