Hi, I am Nicole Bazley.

Ok, ok, I am going to be completely honest here. Nicole Bazley is a pen name. She is an alter ego created to gain the confidence to publish my first book.

It's not that I don't think my book is worthy. I do. It's just a daunting experience putting it out there. One I've held myself back from for many many years. Ten to be exact!

While the name is not technically my real name, Nicole embodies me in so many ways. She is me! She is the creative author who has so many love stories to tell. This name means something to me on a deep level.

A little about me…

I love the beach, my family, being outdoors and staying active. I have always been a book lover and will read almost anything. My favourite authors are Jodie Picoult and Lee Child. I could read the Jack Reacher stories on repeat till the day I died.

I have always loved to write. Poems, songs and little stories, this is my first time actually putting my work out there.

I would say, I write contemporary romance stories that will have you free falling.

I hope you love my stories as much as I love writing them.

Nicole x
