Nicole has never met a genre she doesn't like. She dabbles in everything from science fiction to contemporary rom-coms to fantasy fiction.
Nicole has previously published under the pen names Elizabeth Darcy and Anne Wentworth, but is no longer using those names.
Nicole has had a lifelong passion for the written word. As a child, one of her most treasured Christmas gifts was an electric typewriter, which enabled her to crank out her stories even more quickly than she could with a pen. Naturally, the personal computer is one of her favorite inventions. When she isn't writing, Nicole can usually be found curled up in a chair, whiling away the hours with a good book.
One of Nicole's other great passions is travel, and she has visited Europe, as well as traveling to many of the fifty states. Her favorite trips include visits to Paris, Maui, and various parts of Belgium. She feels fortunate that she is married to a native Belgian, as it gives her plenty of reasons to visit Europe as often as possible. Also, it gives her an excuse to eat Belgian waffles regularly.
Born and raised in Michigan, Nicole lives there still with her husband and two beautiful children. She thinks Michigan is the greatest state in the country, and Michigan State University is the greatest university in the world.
I enjoyed this trilogy I just wish it didn’t end so fast. The first two books are on certain characters and storyline that end abruptly. The 3rd book rushes to get to the end that it doesn’t wrap up well for me almost like the author thought ok this has to end now and it did. I would have liked a little more especially since first two book focused on Andersen and then you don’t see him at all. I enjoyed the series just wanted more.
I enjoyed the series. The premise of earth, abused, left almost uninhabitable, the reduced population forced to live in domes under the absolute control of the creators. Disobedience, illness, etc results in being cast out of the domes
