Author Interview: Nikki A. Lamers
Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we got to chat with Nikki A. Lamers, author of The Unforgettable Summer and the upcoming Once Upon a Forsaken Love, which drops on March 27th! Nikki has an awesome mermaid romance in this anthology that we cannot wait to read!
Before becoming an award winning author, Nikki grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and went to college at one of the University of Wisconsin campuses. She now lives in New York with her husband and their two children. She has always loved to write and create stories, as well as curl up with a good book.
Nikki is the author of the Unforgettable series, which won 4 Firebird Awards when it rereleased in 2022, and the Home duet, inspired by her upbringing in the Midwest. Nikki loves exploring different places and meeting new people where she's always looking for new inspiration for her next story.
Listen in as we chat more about Nikki’s books, writing Midwestern characters, and her other upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @nikkialamersauthor

Author Interview: Jennifer J. Williams
Hello, fellow nerds! We're excited to share our interview with Jennifer Williams, author of Worth the Risk, Forever Sunshine, and more!
Jennifer was born and raised in Ohio, but currently calls Colorado home. A lifelong lover of romance books, Jen felt pulled to write stories with older characters, because "old farts" deserve love too. Jen prides herself on delivering realistic characters that struggle with normal problems. She spends most of her free time within her zoo: two kids, two dogs, and two cats…all of which are male! When not containing the chaos, Jen can be found lounging on her covered porch devouring books on her Kindle.
