Nicole grew up in the shadows of Wasatch Mountains in Provo, Utah. Her young writing career began with plays, song lyrics, and variety shows, all of which her family and friends were happy to support (read: forcibly persuaded to both pay money for, then sit through performances).

 

After her young entrepreneurial days ended, she married her college sweetheart, aka Boyfriend, who provides the inspiration for all her swoon-worthy leading men. They raised their two girls and two boys in Phoenix, Arizona then St. George, Utah, where they still live. 

 

She loves randomly breaking into show tunes, spontaneous Disney trips, sharing her faith and love of God, woodworking in her garage-turned-shop, reading well-behaved books, and is rarely seen without a Swig in hand. She’s Marvel over DC, beach over mountains, Colin Firth over Mathew Macfadyen, salty over sweet, but don’t ask her to choose between Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

 

Nicole tries to infuse each of her stories with aspects from her own love story. That includes relatable characters, witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and sizzling chemistry. She’ll always keep the kisses steamy and the bedroom door closed.
