For Niki Palmer, the love of reading commenced at a very early age. 

Niki wants to share her stories and delight children with magical and informative books. Collaborating with other authors enables Niki to be more creative and work on topics and books she would not have written by herself. During her career, Niki created books for toddlers to teenagers and beyond. All have a special place in her heart.

Her first book, A Bark-tacular Christmas, sprung to life from her father’s idea for a book. Sadly her father passed away before the book was published.

This Christmas story is about her beloved family member, Bollie. Her dog Bollie had a rough start in life before finding his forever home with Niki and lived happily ever after for 18 years. 

Her next book, Fleurella’s Broken Wing – was adapted from a friend’s childhood story. Niki was captivated by the story and created a book with beautiful soft watercolour illustrations.

Shh. The Baby is Asleep – was a collaboration with a dear friend who wanted to write a book for her granddaughter.

Creating beanz books with Tony Densley has been a great adventure, and one Niki has thoroughly enjoyed. From the bestseller Ollie’s Tonsils to Riley’s Magic Shield, every book in the beanz books portfolio has been created with one purpose in mind to assist families through challenging times. Now with three Amazon Best Sellers to their credit and lots of 5-star reviews, Beanz Books has become a household name among parents who wish to help their children overcome very real-life issues. 

If Grace is Dead, I Killed Her. Her current project focuses on an anti-bullying theme directed towards teenagers dealing with their vulnerable years. Written under the pen name T.G. Starr Niki’s latest book, If Grace is Dead, I Killed Her, is the heart-wrenching first book in The Golden Series of Young Adult fiction. 

Originally from Manchester, England, Niki now lives and works on the sunny Gold Coast, Australia. She dreams of taking a tour to visit the most beautiful libraries in the world and indulging her love of reading.
