Nicole Kimber is an Oregon-based author who's been spinning yarns since she could hold a crayon. When she's not crafting suspenseful literary fiction with a dash of romance (for that extra razzle-dazzle), she's busy avoiding stop lights and Porta Potties like they're going out of style-they're irrational fears, but she's not ashamed to admit it. Her first novel, inspired by true events, was nearly abandoned until her pint-sized cheerleaders (aged 7 and 6) convinced her to keep typing. Nicole's narrative style brings characters to life, though she firmly denies using witchcraft to do so. She's living proof that with enough coffee and kid-courage, anyone can turn their elementary school writing dreams into a full-fledged novel.
