Nikki McWatters has had an adventurous life from television acting to working for a billionaire to being homeless and living in a tent with her young family. The one constant in her life has been her passion for the written word. After completing a law degree in 2009, she changed her mind about her career direction and dared herself to follow her dream of becoming a published author. After a shortlisting at the Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards exactly one year later in 2010, followed by a memoir published in 2012, a young adult novel Sandy Feet (under Nikki Buick) in 2014 and a new one ready to go in 2016 … she finally feels like she’s on the right path. She is a writer and loving it.
