Nikki Soarde is a widely published author of erotic romance as well as mainstream romance novels. Raised in a "progressive conservative" Mennonite home, Nikki had many issues and obstacles to overcome when it came to views on personal sexuality. Writing erotica played a very influential role in freeing her from many of those inhibitions. She now writes contemporary, M/M/F and romantic suspense romantica. Her novels are widely published and have been translated into several languages. Besides writing smut, she works at a hospital laboratory part time. She has been married to the same amazing man for almost 22 years, and has three incredibly smart, funny, intelligent sons to call her own. The first one is heading off to college this fall...and she is NOT going to cry. Much.
