I'm Nicole Kimber, an Oregon-based author who's been spinning yarns since I could hold a crayon. When I'm not crafting suspenseful literary fiction with a dash of romance (for that extra razzle-dazzle), you'll find me either reading books from my favorite authors or chasing after my energetic kids who, incidentally, are my biggest inspiration. Their unwavering belief in me became the proof that sometimes all we need is a little courage and support to overcome our darkest chapters-much like my protagonists. My narrative style brings characters to life, though I firmly deny using witchcraft to do so. I'm living proof that with enough coffee and kid-courage, anyone can turn their elementary school writing dreams into a full-fledged novel.
