Nik C. Colyer
Nik Colyer was born in San Francisco in 1948 and raised in the East Bay. During his late teens and early twenties, he owned Cycletherapy, a custom Harley shop where he built choppers for local biker personalities. When he left the world of motorcycle repair behind, he’d saved enough money for a year at a Community College, where he immersed himself in the world of art; drawing, painting, sculpture and ceramics. In 1974, at the age of twenty-four, he relocated for a year to a commune deep in the forest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a move that shifted his view of the world forever. Having struggled with the written word his entire life, Nik, ironically, found himself living in the only space available at the community: the library. During his first winter, with no electricity and 3 feet of snow, he consumed volumes of tattered paperback novels. Until the snow melted, Nik shared imaginations with Steinbeck, Ken Kesey, Frank Herbert, Jack London and more. It was this experience, discovering the world of reading, slowly devouring each author’s work, which would later awaken Colyer’s own storytelling curiosity. Henrioulle Publishing Group launched Nik Colyer’s debut novel, Channeling Biker Bob Heart of a Warrior (2001) and the sequel, the second in his planned four part series, Channeling Biker Bob 2 Lover’s Embrace (2003). In 2004, Singing Reed Press published Colyer’s first book of poetry, Kicking Ass and Taking Names and in April 2005, his third novel, Maranther’s Deception. Singing Reed Press has an anticipated release date of spring 2006 for the third in the Biker Bob series; Channeling Biker Bob Magician’s Spell. The author has lectured on a variety of topics from taming the inner critic, opening the space to be creative, to developing and honoring the unique communication pathways between men and women. Nik and his wife Barbara, live in the forest north of Nevada City, California. They share their property with an assortment of raccoons and pesky squirrels, the occasional bobcat and periodic visitations by the neighborhood bear. . .
