Nikki's Books
Welcome to my website!

Thank you for stopping by!

I write board books, picture books, and chapter books, as well as middle grade and young adult novels. I write whichever ideas stay long enough to become pests. I'm a prisoner of my own creative mind! Feel free to browse around, and do come back again soon.  This website is a work in progress...just like me.
