Featured Authors

Nicki Pau Preto

Nicki Pau Preto is a fantasy author living just outside Toronto—though her dislike of hockey, snow, and geese makes her the worst Canadian in the country.

She is the author of the Crown of Feathers trilogy and Bonesmith, and you can find her online at NickiPauPreto.com.
