T.M. Nielsen

Biography

T.M. Nielsen doesn't necessarily consider herself an author. She's an every-day woman who had a story to tell. Never intending to let anyone else read it, she decided to put it all down on paper. What she ended up with is a fascinating tale filling books full of drama, adventure, action, romance, and excitement.

When asked why she decided to publish, she stated, "I want for others to be able to forget about problems in life and to lose themselves in my world... the world of the heku. While I write, I laugh, cry, grin, gasp, and my heart races. I want others to experience that too."

T.M. Nielsen is a computer tech by trade and lives with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She's the author of Amazon.com's bestselling series The Heku Series and the Dimensions Saga, along with a Heku Series spin-off book called Return of the Encala. She's been listed numerous times on Apple's Breakout Books and on Amazon.com's top 20 in Fantasy.

I updated my books all the time! Check back often for new, cleaner versions. I can't afford an editor, but any time I hear of an error, I fix it immediately.

Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
It's a continuation of the Dimensions Saga. I wanted to get back more into the medieval fantasy aspect and less into family life. I always throw in humor, but I wanted a darker tone in the last of the Dimensions' books. It's also time to see Kyrin start to step up more as nobility, and for the kids to grow up.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
I've always written stories. When I had a rather 'low' year, I ended up writing 7 books in a series that completely engulfed my life. It was my break-away from the everyday norm. I got curious about it's quality and posted the first book to an indie colony. The response was fantastic! I had readers begging for more. I also had a death threat e-mail that said I better not publish it. The death threat was actually why I pushed it out to the public. Maybe I have a little Emily in me! I really want to help others forget about money problems, or health problems, or anything negative in their lives. If I can help one person cope, then my job is done.
