SHORT BIO:

My name is Niko and I work in the not-as-glamorous-as-you-might-think world of film and television. I have one book out on query [SciFi/Horror] and am writing another [YA SciFi]. This basically means that I try to play it cool whenever I get an email and then act like I don't care that it's just Netflix updating me on what's new to stream. I'm fortunate to live in the greatest city in the world [NYC] where brunch choices are in abundance.
