Martin, Nikki: - Nikki Martin is a writer and full time yoga teacher living on the east coast of Canada with her partner Paul and two playful kittens, Tris and Lu. Her love of stories, both reading and creating them, started very young when she realized they could be both escape and salvation for a shy, sensitive and awkward kid who always felt a little bit out of place despite having friends and being very social. She drafted her first novel in grade nine and her first feature length screenplay not long after that, and has written many of both genres since. She hopes to share her work with readers over the coming years and to continue to share her passion for yoga while teaching and traveling. She is an avid reader, a daydreamer, a movie lover, a sunset chaser, a stargazer, a love warrior, a tree hugger, a beach walker, a storyteller, and an ocean soul. She was a contributor for BreatheYourOMBalance: Writings about Yoga by Women (Thorncraft, 2015). A MOMENTARY DARKNESS is her first novel in the fictional series, AWAKE WHILE DREAMING.
