Nicole Malachowski is a dreamer, a storyteller, and a passionate guide for families, both on and off the page. Her journey as a writer began in the sixth grade, where a school project sparked the creation of a special story about a little dragon named Ember. For years, that manuscript was a beloved bedtime tale for her son, Nikolas, whose nightly request for “the dragon one” inspired her to finally share Ember’s magic with the world.
