Though she was raised in the beautiful, rainy Pacific Northwest, Nikki now writes from the heart of Big Sky Country in Central Alberta. The last time she tried to buy a rain jacket, she was gently told to “get over it” and buy a winter coat instead—an experience that caused considerable heartache. If you ever meet her, she’ll probably be reluctantly wearing that coat, while eyeing your rain jacket with envy.

Mama to three vivacious kiddos and wife to one incredible mechanic, Nikki’s days are filled with kid-fueled adventures, while her nights are spent crafting whimsical stories in cozy local coffee shops. A lifelong lover of the Magic Kingdom, she’s often found dashing around Tomorrowland with her ever-patient family in tow.

As a certified biblical counselor and trauma-care provider, Nikki is passionate about writing stories that offer hope and resilience to both kids and parents—especially in the midst of life’s unexpected twists and turns.
