Nikki was born on Long Island, and has been trying to write his way off ever since. Nikki survives the crushing weight of capitalism working as a software tester in ad tech–when they’re  not doing that, or spinning up fantastical worlds with the other Sophisticated Lions, they can be found reading long works of fiction, playing (and usually not finishing) video games, or practicing how to cram all their pronouns into one bio. Nikki’s work has appeared in the Rock n Roll Globe, A Little Rebellion, and the short story collection Growing Pains (under the title “The Last One”), published by Sinister Saints Press. She’s really trying her best here, folks.
