Jai Nicole

Georgia native Jai Nicole was what most would call a “bookworm” since her nose was always buried in a book. When she had to write a short story as a class assignment, she discovered not only did she enjoy reading, but she also liked to write and create her own stories. Jai Nicole’s parents and teachers took notice of her talent, encouraging her to hone her writing craft and consider becoming an author. Unfortunately, she felt differently, believing that it would be too hard to secure a publishing deal. Because of that, she stopped writing for nearly ten years. Jai Nicole relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina in 2010, where her spark for writing returned. Reading and seeing other authors live out their dreams inspired her. After working at a call center for nearly six months, she quit, knowing that she didn’t want to answer phones for the rest of her life. In fact, she knew that she didn’t want to do anything else—except write. Feverishly she started on her first manuscript, determined to make her dreams of becoming an author a reality. After Jai Nicole expressed her renewed interest in writing to her family, her father got her in touch with Azarel of Life Changing Books. Following the review of her manuscript, she was offered a publishing deal and the rest is history! Her debut novel “Cashin’ Out” released at the end of October.
