About Nicky
Nicky spent her childhood in daydreams, floating through life in a haze of stories and silliness. When she grew up (and had to impersonate a sensible adult) she tried a few uninspiring career options before discovering that teaching was a lot of fun.
Surrounded by incredible children’s books, she was moved to take up her pen and write a story of her own. The result was a bit disappointing. But she didn’t give up easily. After years of experimentation, she decided to write the silliest story that popped into her brain. (A tale of evil toads and enchanted boiled eggs.) Yeah, it was weird. But weird worked.
Now, Nicky writes from her home in Winchester, where she lives with her husband and two children.
