Tiece Mickens—a proud September Virgo born in Augusta, Georgia, and raised in the heart of Waynesboro—is a country girl with city-sized dreams and the hustle to match. Writing has always been second nature to her—it’s in her, not on her. In 2004, through life’s unexpected trials, she picked up the pen with intention and never put it down. What started as an outlet quickly became an empire in the making.

​​

Her debut release, Scarlett, hit Amazon’s Kindle Edition in 2013 and quickly topped the charts, marking her arrival as a bold new voice in African American urban fiction. That same year, she released Dope Boyz and The Women That Love ’Em, which became her first #1 Amazon Bestseller and solidified her place in the genre. In 2014, she brought Checkmate—the very first novel she ever wrote, originally published in paperback in 2010—to Kindle, where it finally gained the recognition it deserved and cemented her reputation as a storyteller to watch.​​

​

Her pen has earned her KDP bonuses and pushed her as high as #38 on Amazon’s Top 100 list worldwide—a remarkable accomplishment in her genre that reflects both her consistency and undeniable talent. Her edge-of-your-seat plots and deeply authentic characters have carved out a loyal fan base—known as The TYRANTS—who show up and show out every time she drops.​

​

As the powerhouse behind Tiece Presents, she didn't just build an empire—she helped create seven successful Publishers who came up under her umbrella. Mentored, molded, and motivated by their joint vision, those publishers stepped into their own lanes, with a couple still thriving independently to this day. 

​

Tiece doesn’t just write the stories people can’t stop reading—she opens doors, sets standards, and paves the way for the next wave of literary bosses.

Her name holds weight.

Her books are available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback, with plans to bring her stories to life on both the big and small screens through film and series adaptations.

​

Outside of her literary success, Tiece is a devoted mother and grandmother who cherishes family above all else. She’s also the founder of a thriving spiritual lifestyle brand, expanding her creative vision beyond the page into products and services that inspire, heal, and empower. Her journey is proof that no matter where you start, with passion, persistence, and purpose, you can create the life you dream of—and she’s far from finished.
