About the Author

Nicola Palmer - Featured on Indie Author News
Nicola Palmer is a 34 year-old children’s writer from Warwickshire, England, creating stories of fantasy, magic and suspense for readers of 10+.

Following a degree in modern languages and literature, Nicola put her dream of writing children’s books on hold while she set up a business as my main source of income. The business was in landscape design, after a second degree trying to find her niche. She enjoyed the opportunity to create fantasy gardens for shows, including a fairytale garden at Hampton Court.
But sadly, that is just a small part of the landscape design business, and she still needed to be more creative.

So, Nicola Palmer put finally pen to paper two years ago, when the idea for the Alice Parker Adventures insisted on being written down.

Nicola Palmer: "My readers are generally aged 10+ and have outgrown girly stories, but are not particularly keen on romance or vampires. The Alice Parker series provides a gripping read that fits the void between children’s and young adult fiction. Having said that, plenty of adults have enjoyed the books too!

I am currently working on Book 3 of the Alice Parker Adventures, due for release in summer 2012."
