Nikki DellaVecchia (Aaron to the formal and the foolish) spins fantasy realms where real-world grit battles mythical beasts, fires off snarky essays that roast the everyday, and crafts poetry laced with ethics and a wicked grin. Once a medical prodigy, they ditched scalpels for maps with a geography degree, only to land as an IT analyst—proof their life’s a glorious, chaotic pinball game. Sure, they’ve got a couple of published theses and dissertations gathering dust (snooze), but Nikki torched the academic rulebook for a wilder dream: building a tribe of readers who’ll devour their every word, no matter how whimsical or unhinged. Sarcastic as hell, brimming with big thoughts, and balls-to-the-walls fearless, Nikki’s here to sling truth, whimsy, and zero apologies. Buckle up.
