Nicki Edwards : AUTHOR OF CONTEMPORARY, HEARTWARMING ROMANCE : Sweet stories set in small towns, filled with life, love and medical dramas.Nicki Edwards is a city girl with a country heart. Growing up on a small family acreage outside Geelong, she spent her formative years riding horses, hand rearing lambs and pretending the neighbour's farm was her own. After spending three years in a regional city in New South Wales in her 20's, her love of small country towns and rural life was further developed.​For years Nicki dreamed of one day escaping to the country with her husband Tim where they would live on land surrounded by horses, dogs, cows and sheep. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen, so instead Nicki continues to live vicariously through the lives of the characters in the books she loves to read and write.Nicki also dreams of living in Canada, but as that's also unlikely, she keeps visiting and setting some of her books in the country that stole her heart 30 years ago.A voracious reader, Nicki always wanted to be an author. After returning to university as a mature aged student in her mid-30's to study nursing, she juggled full time study, part time work and raising four small children to achieve her dream of becoming a nurse in 2011.But her other dream - the dream to write - never left. In January 2014 Nicki wrote her first book and was published by Momentum, the digital imprint of Pan Macmillan Australia.Nicki now divides her time between working as a Critical Care Nurse in the Emergency Department or Intensive Care Unit at Epworth Hospital in Geelong or in a busy local General Practice where she works as a Practice Nurse. These are the places where many of Nicki's stories and characters are imagined.Nicki and her husband Tim live in Geelong, Victoria. They have four young adult children, two spoiled border collies and a Burmese cat.Life is always busy, always fun and definitely exhausting, but Nicki wouldn't change it for anything.Nicki loves to hear from readers and can be contacted via her website www.nickiedwardsauthor.com
