In addition to scholarly pursuits, Eleanor Bourg Nicholson occasionally strays into fiction, including her epistolary novella, The Letters of Magdalen Montague, and her Gothic novels, A Bloody Habit, Brother Wolf, and Wake of Malice. For the sake of her children, who eagerly requested a book they too could read, she wrote The Hound of the Lord, a children’s biography of St. Dominic (Ignatius Press, 2023). She is a Lay Dominican, which may partly explain the frequency with which OPs gaily trip through her writing. (She also formally apologized to the friars for throwing them into the Gothic atmosphere. Honestly, though, it makes a lot of sense.)

Quotes by Eleanor Bourg Nicholson (?)

“Those loved ones are only lost to us for a little while. As to disappointment, well, we are all wretches, in need of God’s grace. Thanks be to God for that! Our Lord tells us to rejoice. Would I be perfect and spared of my own need for grace? Would I go without friendship and love to be spared such loss? Would I tell you not to take this chance because you have faults? Would I tell you not to strive for and win this good woman because you didn’t spring forth into the world as a perfect hero? Not for all the world can give. You aren’t the sum of your poor mother’s fears. God in His graciousness will supply your every need. Stop hesitating and let Him.”
― Eleanor Bourg Nicholson, Wake of Malice
