Nicki’s Latest Book Now Available for Purchase

Abominable, Book 4 in A Monstrous Dread Series is available on Amazon now. After a failed assassination attempt on her life, Jillian packs up her Airstream and motors away from the Catskills. Her destination? Sunny California with its sandy beaches and tranquil ocean views. Standing between her and paradise is a white-knuckle drive through Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range, but as long as she can beat the forecasted hundred-year storm, she’s golden. Of course, as with so many ‘coincidences’ in her life, the ice, wind, and snow arrive early, trapping her in a dangerous blizzard while perched on a treacherous mountain switchback.


Help arrives in the form of a teenage boy, forcing Jillian to choose between freezing to death or accepting his offer of sanctuary in the home of his family.
