The Making of Nikki St. Crowe
Born with a vivid imagination, Nikki St. Crowe started writing at sixteen, penning vampire romances that, while not her finest work, sparked a lifelong passion. As a teen mom, she found escape in stories, channeling her love for morally gray characters into her craft. Her professional start came in fourth grade, placing second in a Young Author’s Competition with a tale of magical mansions. That early spark evolved into a career crafting steamy, supernatural worlds where anti-heroes reign.
Now based near Lake Michigan with her husband and daughter, Nikki writes at her desk, fueled by coffee and music her daughter dubs 'gothic fairy tale.' Her obsession with villains and complex characters drives her to create stories that challenge conventions and celebrate the power of love in dark places.
