Meet Nikki Karis, author, attorney, inspirational speaker, avid animal advocate, and aspiring entrepreneur, who is a devoted mom to forty plus rescue animals, hailing from all around the world. Since 1992, Karis has been a practicing trial attorney, focusing exclusively on personal injury claims. In early 2018, however, Karis finally took a leap of faith and followed her lifelong dream, finishing the first book of The Toad Chronicles series and completing phase one of her inspirational company, Finding Zeni. The first book is set to release May 10, 2018, along with the official launch of Karis’ inspirational company, Finding Zeni.

During her adventures in the swamps, though, Zeni undergoes a life changing metamorphosis during which she sloughs off everyone else’s ideas of who she should be while transforming and becoming her Superhuman, Divine Self. Through the many life lessons Zeni learns through the years, Karis delivers a message of hope and inspiration to her readers, so they too can successfully conquer the swamps of life and become their Superhuman, Divine Self.
