Hi, I'm Nicole (aka Nikki). I grew up reading in unconventional spots: the backseat of a car, the top of the monkey bars on my backyard play set, the corners of the quietest hallways in my elementary school.

I don't read a lot of horror or poetry, and (after years of DNF'ing) I have a hard rule never to read books that have witches as characters. I read in pretty much any other genre, and I've even helped to edit a translated book in the military science fiction genre.

I'm originally from Maine in the USA, but I live in Madrid, Spain these days. Madrid is a city of readers, with bookstores and libraries on practically every block, and one of the biggest book fairs I have ever seen that takes place every May. As a cozy mystery author, I find i ...more

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

I'll be attending (as a fan, not a presenting author), and I really want to know some of the characters and writing styles for the authors who will be presenting/meeting fans.

Here's a funny (mortifying) story: back in 2018, when I was an active blogger writing about podcasts, I went to a podcasting event for fans. I met several of my favorite podcasters, but I missed the keynote address by a VERY popular podcaster. At the time, I wasn't using much social media, so I didn't know what he looked like. I missed the keynote because I was volunteering at a booth...the booth where this very same podcaster would be a half an hour later.

When said podcaster arrived at the booth and asked a question about where the presenters were supposed to go, I spoke to him like he was any ol' guy, and even pointed out a different podcaster, as if I was telling him something he didn't know. Ten minutes later, when I realized who he was, I wanted to run and hide.

So, believe me when I say: I will be attending the Ashland Mystery Festival with photos in my phone of each author, so that I don't make a fool of myself! :)(less)

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

She gave us an assignment to write a story, and we wrote it in phases/chunks over several weeks, with lessons about writing and "show don't tell" all along the way.

In the end, I had written a story (approximately 5K words) called The Boy Who Turned To Stone. One of the plot points was something about tears falling from the eyes of the boy who had been turned into a stone statue. I wish I could remember more details about it. I know it wasn't a witch who turned him to stone (I don't like reading or writing about witches), but not much else.

The reason I don't know anything else about the story is because, after it received praise from other teachers and I won an award for it, the teacher lost my story. This was back in the day when it was all hand-written (we weren't doing word processing on computers yet, just playing The Oregon Trail), so there was only one copy.

When I asked her to check her teacher's bag and her home, she said it wasn't there. She swore it was gone. I was pretty disappointed, but my parents -- who have two other kids and aren't very precious about things like this -- were outraged and they swear that the teacher kept the story and was going to "do something" with it, like publish a kids book by plagiarizing my work!

I'm not too broken up about it now, but it is definitely one of those mysteries that we'll always wonder about. (less)

Nikki’s Quotes

“That wears a person down in the end. It’s not always obvious, because the people around a bullied child assume that he or she must get used to it after a while. Never. You never get used to it. It burns like fire the whole time. It’s just that no one knows how long the fuse is, not even you.”
― Fredrik Backman, Beartown

“They will be scared to touch her, even the ones who believe her, because they don't want to risk getting hit by shrapnel when she detonates.”

“No one ever said life was going to be easy.” Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that’s always too small. No matter how hard you try to cover everyone, there’s always someone who’s freezing.”
