Ciara is Addicted To!

Guess what’s the one thing that Ciara can’t live without?

Her hair extensions!

When Essence.com asked her what’s the one thing she couldn’t live without she said:

This may be very blunt, but I can’t live without my hair extensions! It’s the truth! I don’t want to wear my (real) hair all the time because I want [...]

To Prologue or Not to Prologue?

Up to 44,451 words on the work in progress. Feeling excited, like I’m in the zone.

"A perfect wash and set: Katrina Spencer's Six O'clock is a fun, light-hearted look at the competitive, back-stabbing world of high-end beauty salons. The writing is humorous and lively and it's easy to root for the down-to-earth heroine." ~~Joanne Skerrett
"Katrina Spencer spins a refreshing tale that perfectly blends drama with laugh-out-loud funny! Readers will no doubt enjoy the ride." ~~Mari Walker
