Nikki Brooke is an Aussie sci-fi and fantasy author, scriptwriter, and champion of bisexual representation—because the world needs more bi heroes! She believes stories are better with a little chaos, a lot of heart, and characters who aren’t afraid to break the mould (or the universe). She writes the kind of books she always wanted to read growing up—where queerness is celebrated, the stakes are high, and the adventure is anything but ordinary.

Her debut novel Plagued Lands made a splash, winning first place in The BookFest’s Dystopian and YA Dystopian categories, snagging a Golden Wizard Book Prize, earning five shiny stars from Readers’ Favourite, and becoming an Aurealis Awards finalist for Best Young Adult Novel. Her second book, The Huxian Fox, was recently released and is already racking up its own credentials as a finalist in the Launch Pad Prose Competition, a semi-finalist in the ScreenCraft Cinematic Book Writing Competition, shortlisted for Adaptable by Queensland Writers Centre, and #1 Sci-Fi Book/Manuscript on Coverfly’s Red List.

She grew up in Melbourne but has lived in London and Austin before boomeranging back home, where she now lives with two dogs named Osiris and Apollo. Yes, like the gods. Yes, they know it. Yes, they act accordingly. When she’s not writing or refereeing divine dog drama, Nikki enjoys swimming, dancing, butchering Spanish, and having grand adventures—all of which eventually end up in her stories (except the butchered Spanish, hopefully).
