About the Author

Judy Nichols grew up in a Batavia, Ohio, a small town twenty miles east of Cincinnati. She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University and even managed to find a paying job as a journalist but didn't have the stomach for asking the hard-hitting questions. After a long stint of temporary office work in Cincinnati, she decided to go into elementary education and spent three wretched years as a substitute teacher in the Columbus, Ohio, public schools.
Eventually, she moved back to Cincinnati and found work as a customer service representative, which was far less stressful than teaching and paid the bills. And she didn't have to deal with all those surly fourth graders just itching for a fight.
At this time, Ms. Nichols met Nigel, a British national who lived in an old farmhouse outside of Aurora, Indiana, a small town 20 miles west of Cincinnati. It was in that farmhouse, one day in 1996 while her baby daughter Alysoun slept, she decided it was time to get started on the book she'd always intended to write. She fired up the word processor, and five years later, her first book Caviar Dreams was finished. In August of 2003, it was published by Zumaya Publications.

She would still be living in Aurora if GE Aircraft hadn't made Nigel an offer he couldn't refuse—a chance to live near the ocean with GE footing the bill for moving expenses. So, now, the family lives in Wilmington, North Carolina.
