Meet The Authors
Nadine Abrahams
Nadine has been an avid reader and writer since her early childhood, from publishing poems to creating her first novel at thirteen, The Primal Heartbeat, and publishing it in her early adulthood. The Primal Heartbeat has since been edited and updated.
Nadine is an avid gamer and role-player, as well as creator of fiction and fantasy novels. She also loves archery and nature.
After dealing with adversity and overcoming it, Nadine writes books that show even powerful characters are inherently flawed. That these weaknesses can often become our strengths as long as we remain true to ourselves. Nadine’s writing reflects on the dark side of humanity as well as the good side and how, even though we think we are worthless, we can change our destiny, just as her memorable characters do.
Nadine Also writes under the surname Durward for juvenile fiction.

As Nadine Durward

"Life pushes us unwillingly from our mother's wombs. We come, struggling, screaming and gasping for breath into a world corroded from centuries of stagnant emotion. There are fleeting moments of joy, youth all gone in a heartbeat as if death is constantly waiting, watching. Then as unwillingly as we came, we are taken, ripped from life as we were once ripped from our mother’s womb."
