About Me

Nikki Savoy dreams of joy and justice and writes about Black women—what we protect, what we carry, and what it costs. She writes the stories she craves to read. A poet and singer-songwriter who loves a good cry nearly as much as she enjoys a good laugh, she’s a sucker for a love story, but tends to favor the thrill of seeing karma consume the guilty. Nikki is a member of International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, and serves on the Board of Directors for James River Writers in Richmond, Virginia, where she was born and raised, and lives with her husband and the youngest of their five children. Her picture-perfect day would be spent alone—don’t tell her family—on a pink sand beach with a book and any of her favorite playlists on shuffle.
