Nina Harrington grew up in rural Northumberland, England, within walking distance of both heather moorland, and wonderful wild sandy beaches.

She decided aged eleven, that her dream job was to be a librarian because then she could read all of the books in the public library whenever she wanted!

Many years later she took the bold decision to take a career break from working in the pharmaceutical industry to realise her dream of being a fiction writer. No salary. No contract - but following her heart.

That decision had put over 1.7 million copies of her romance books into the hands of readers in more than 28 countries and translated into 23 languages.

Some of these books have won international awards.

Nina loves to read both suspense and contempo

Quotes by Nina Harrington  (?)

“That tension creates the internal stress that drives the anxiety when we are putting in the hours, but end up having nothing to show for all of that work. Myth”
Nina Harrington, Become a Fearless Writer: How to Stop Procrastinating, Break Free of Self-Doubt, and Build a Profitable Career

“People with a fixed mindset are out to prove themselves every day and get very defensive when someone suggests they have made a mistake — they measure themselves by their failures. In a growth mindset, people believe that their abilities can be developed through study and hard work and that intelligence and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience to overcome challenges with positive energy. They believe that they can realise their true potential and are in control. People with growth mindset show resilience when they’ve made an error and become more motivated to work harder and develop the skills needed to succeed in that task.”
Nina Harrington, Become a Fearless Writer: How to Stop Procrastinating, Break Free of Self-Doubt, and Build a Profitable Career

“Chefs. You either loved them or tolerated them, but either way you had to learn to live with them.”
Nina Harrington, Tipping the Waitress with Diamonds

“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.”
James Patterson, Sam's Letters to Jennifer

“Someone once told me the definition of hell; on your last day on earth, the person you could have become will meet the person you became.”
Anonymous

Nina Harrington, Become a Fearless Writer: How to Stop Procrastinating, Break Free of Self-Doubt, and Build a Profitable Career

“At that precise moment I conjured a credo that would guide me for the rest of my life: I will pursue something that I love - and hopefully become good at it, instead of pursuing something that I'm good at - but don't love.”
Bryan Cranston, A Life in Parts
