Out of almost 50 books, this was the best I read this year. As soon as my daughters are old enough, I’m gifting it to them.

-Jaimee G., Goodreads Review
...an extraordinary story, beautifully written. Clever, thought provoking, moving... It's a story that will stay with me for a very long time.

-Jean Illingworth, author of The Allotments
Kudos to you. You've written a bestseller. This could easily be made into a Netflix or Hulu feature.

-Mary T., ARC Reader
Wow Nicci, this was a lovely and incredibly intelligent read. I LOVED the diverse, believable characters, the plot and twists, the ending. This book is provoking, thoughtful, and powerful... The world needs this book!

-Ann M., Beta Reader
I felt engaged from the very start... It had intrigue, political tensions, feminism, mystery - a little bit of everything I like.

-Barbara L., Beta Reader

Hi, I'm Nicci.

I do a lot of things - like trying to keep a toddler, two tweens, and an ever-growing menagerie alive; teaching kids and adults about all kinds of things; and trying to make this world better than I found it.

And, through it all, I write.

Poetry, essays, short stories, and novels - anything to put my thoughts, wonderings, and struggles into a relatable narrative for you. My words, written with what I hope is a refreshing blend of humor and heart, seek to entertain and enlighten. Read some of them and see what I mean.
