Person
Growing up, Nicola spent hours with her nose stuck in a book or filling notebooks with stories and sketches. After a successful career as a physiotherapist and raising two children she's now come full circle and is writing again.
Nicola lives on a smallholding in the Chiltern Hills with her husband and two children. When she's not mucking out chickens or feeding the sheep you'll find her writing magical middle grade stories.
