Sensory Ops - A New Series
Sounds to Die By kicks off my Sensory Ops Series, and I’m thrilled to have it here at Samhain. I am planning six books for the series, and have recently finished the first draft of book 2.
To help me understand my hero, a group of friends blindfolded me at a writer’s retreat. I worked on typing my story on the computer without sight while they played tricks on me. They would stand over me to see if I knew they were there and if I could tell who it was. They would stick stuff under my nose to see if I could identify what it was. They would whisper and plot and giggle across the room to see how in tune I was to them and how focused I could remain on my job of typing.
Overcoming some of their challenges was easier than others, but the exercise achieved the attended goal. It got me in the mindset of Ian and better prepared me for the task of writing his story. I hope you’ll check it out.

Said about Sound to Die By – “Nikki Duncan has spun a web of intrigue, suspense, and scorching hot love scenes that will entice any reader.” ~ Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed
