Author & Storyteller: Malika Bourne
Welcome to MalikaBourne.com, the central gathering place for life‑tested wisdom,
family‑centered guidance, and creative storytelling. On these pages, Malika Bourne invites you into
her experience-rich world as a former Registered Nurse, seasoned grandparent, and long-time
advocate for connection, simplicity, and purposeful living.
This site is thoughtfully organized for easy access to her inspirational blog posts, practical
guides, fiction work, curated merchandise, and a growing community of like-minded readers and families.
Whether you’re looking for screen‑free family bonding ideas, legal tools for creative enterprises,
or a fresh fantasy novel—Malika’s voice is here with gentle clarity and open heart.
From Nurse to “No Non‑cents Nanna”
Decades of nursing experience gave Malika a unique ability to treat both aches and anxieties with
honesty and care. Rising naturally from this background, her online moniker, The No Non‑cents Nanna,
captures her practical, candid, and empathetic style. Now a grandmother and great‑grandmother, she
builds on that legacy in every blog post, product, and interaction on the site.
Her multi-generational perspective is evident in posts that blend medical insight with family
storytelling—a rare perspective that readers frequently mention as “like talking to your wisest
family member over tea.”
Creativity Rooted in an Iowa Small-Town Legacy
Raised in a small Iowa photography studio in the mid-20th century, Malika’s earliest memories involve
shutter clicks, customer moments, and lifelong creativity. Her teenage years saw her selling
decorated cakes and gifts at local fairs—lessons that inform her brand’s emphasis on authentic
quality and thoughtful design.
What You’ll Find on the Site
🔥 Blog & Essays
Malika’s posts range from family policy commentary to hands-on weekends of no-tech play.
Recurring themes include:
- Family time advice (screen‑free games, multigenerational craft projects, storytelling as bonding)
- Legislative commentary (e.g. family childcare policy, generational health support)
- Creative “unplug together” writing prompts, heartwarming reflections, and generational wisdom
✍️ Books & Fiction
In collaboration with Grace Rose, Malika co-authored her debut fantasy novel,
The Secrets of the Unwritten Book: Fate of the Golden Heart, published by the Press of the
Camp Pope Bookshop in 2010. The paperback spans around 284 pages.
The story follows two angel-guided women reshaping cosmic secrets across worlds called Lamoria and
Mylantra. Since its release in August 2010, it’s remained a quietly cherished
title among readers drawn to spiritual fantasy and redemption themes.
The site occasionally revisits this title with reflections, re‑read recommendations, and reader
insights while largely focusing on Malika’s nonfiction lifestyle and faith-based essays.
