Hello Everyone!

My name is Ayana and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am a published author under a small publishing company called Tiece Mickens Presents. My passion for reading and writing began after I read the Twilight series and after my dad passed away from cancer. I wrote my first book at the tender age of 13 and continued writing after. I went from writing fanfictions to creating my own stories. I started writing on an app called Wattpad which allowed people to read my books for free from all over the world. After joining the site and being on there for two years someone reached out to me saying they enjoyed my first published book, You Can't Make Me Love You, and know quite a few publishers who would love to publish my book. Connecting on Facebook, she led me to a few publishers until I decided to sign with Tiece Mickens Publications July of 2016. So far I have eight books published under Tiece Mickens. I will continue my passion for writing and hopefully become a bestselling Author and have one of my books turned into a movie.
