Heartfelt Drama. Sapphic Romance. Always Real.
I write stories that delve deeply into the messy, beautiful chaos of family, love, and the journey of finding your true worth, especially when the world continuously tries to dictate who you’re supposed to be. My books are rich with emotionally charged drama, tender sapphic romances, and fiercely authentic characters who fight passionately to be seen, understood, and loved for exactly who they are. If you’re drawn to stories where fierce women break free from expectations, fall deeply in love, and courageously navigate life’s most raw and honest moments, then you’ve truly come to the right place.

Hey there! I’m K. Shenice Jenkins, a nonfiction author who’s obsessed with digging into the drama of family life and sapphic love stories, with just the right amount of spice and heart. I’m a small-town South Carolina girl, a pet mom to four chaotic cats and one spoiled little doggy, and I thrive on storytelling in all forms. When I’m not writing, I’m either nose-deep in a book, hunting for collector’s finds, sketching something random, or quoting movies like it’s a sport. Basically, if it sparks emotion, I’m all in.
Whitney Delaney was raised to be flawless. In a family obsessed with reputation, control, and perfection, mistakes aren’t forgiven; they’re erased. So when sixteen-year-old Whitney discovers she’s pregnant, she does the only thing she’s ever known how to do: She hides it. She hides the swelling. She hides the fear. She hides the life growing inside her. Until the day she goes into labor alone in her high school locker room. Nadine Thornton wasn’t supposed to be part of Whitney’s story. Confident, outspoken, and unapologetically herself, Nadine lives in a world Whitney has only ever watched from the sidelines. But when she finds Whitney moments after giving birth in secret, Nadine makes a choice that will change both of their lives. She refuses to walk away. What begins as an act of protection becomes something deeper as they navigate young motherhood, family manipulation, public judgment, and the terrifying process of building a life from scratch. But loving Whitney comes with its own cost. Nadine loves hard fiercely, selflessly, sometimes so much that she forgets herself in the process. Spanning the years from late adolescence into adulthood, Show Me the Scary Part is a sweeping sapphic romance about defying control, fighting for your child, and learning that the scariest part of love isn’t falling – It’s choosing to stay.
