About Nic

If it’s possible to be born a writer, then I think I was. I’d probably have started sooner if there had been pen and paper available in the womb!

His Royal Highness 2006- 2015
RIP sweet boy

But for as long as I can remember, I have heard voices in my head. Fortunately for me, they’re all characters—begging me to tell their stories.

Mom's Best Bud
2006-2020

Still Crazy (about him!) after all these years!

How did they get so big so fast?

I live in along the beautiful shore of Lake Ontario in Western NY and have been married to Peter, my best friend, for 24 years.  

I’m a work-at-home mom with two young adult sons and two trouble-making feline boys who rule the roost. When I’m not working, writing, or buried nose-deep in a research book, chances are I’m baking, gardening, or cleaning up after my kids! 

The Mighty Thor
Troublemaker #1

We adopted these troublemakers in 2015 and they have quickly taken over.  Thor is smarter than all of us, he makes quick work of the dog-proof wastebasket in the kitchen (this even used to stump my border collie mix) has been known to steal food from the toaster oven while it's cooking and can escape from behind locked doors faster than Houdini. I'm fairly certain total world domination is part of his long term goal.

Sebastian aka Sebbi
Troublemaker #2

Sebbi definitely knows he's the baby of the family. He is not a Mama's boy by any means, he's a guy's guy. If the boys are gaming, he's right there with them. If their friends are over he's right in the thick of things and loves to hang with Dad and watch TV. He is, in all honestly, dumb as a rock, but we love our silly Seb!
