Main Fiction: “The Motivation Cure” by R. K. Nickel

R.K. Nickel works as screenwriter in Los Angeles. His first feature film, Bear with Us, is available on Amazon Prime, and “Stellar People,” a sci-fi comedy series he wrote for Adaptive Studios, will be coming out sometime in 2018. He dove into his prose journey in 2017, during which he made his first six sales and was lucky enough to attend the Odyssey Writing Workshop. When he’s not writing, he’s probably trapped in a room, either because he’s doing an escape room or because the lock on his door broke again. Stupid lock.
