About Me
Kathy Nickerson
I am loving my new home in Nebraska, where I live with my handsome husband of fifty years.

My articles have appeared in several magazines and my books are available at Amazon.com, from this website, or by contacting me for a book event. Sign up for my email list so we can stay in touch.
