Hi, I'm Nikki Young. Welcome to my author page and blog.

I'm a writer and lover of stories and my first book, a spy story for children aged 8-12, was published in April 2017.

I credit my lively imagination to an amazing childhood, growing up in Yorkshire and living in a cul-de-sac in the days when children were allowed to run free and left to make their own fun!

Now, I'm a mum of three, but in my head, I haven't really grown up and those memories of my childhood days remain strong and active.
