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

My eternal optimism comes from my mother, The Nicest Woman on Earth, and from a deep faith in the God who made Light to shine from darkness.
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.
