Nicole is not yet a best selling author but she is working on it…

She has been lucky enough to live in such glamorous locations as London, New York, and Croydon! She currently lives in Devon with her family. For over three decades she worked  in music PR and marketing within Europe and the USA before reinventing herself within the world of healthcare management. She writes both novels and short stories. Her debut novel ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ was released in 2015, and followed in 2016 by her second novel ‘Forbidden Colours’. Both novels have received great reviews with comments such as ‘Wow, Just Wow…’ and ‘A Real Page Turner…’

Nicole’s first short story collection ‘Soaring’ was released by Chapeltown Books in April 2023.

She admits to getting bored easily and will try anything once! Apart from writing and ‘doing the day job’ she can often be found enjoying new adventures. These can range from tap dancing to helicopter rides over the Black Forest.

Us writers need as much caffeine as we can lay our hands on – any support you can offer to help me achieve this would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Nicole is a member of Jericho Writers and The Society of Authors.
