Nicole Northwood writes atmospheric fantasy romance filled with soft magic, forbidden love, and whimsical, not‑quite‑historical worlds. By day, Nicole works as a project manager in the medical / information technology field, but by starlight, she conjures books filled with enchantment and wonder.

Her stories—including The Night Garden and Beneath the Starlit Sea—invite readers into lush, atmospheric realms where magic is woven into the fabric of everyday life, and love is both a mystery and a revelation. Nicole also writes nostalgic contemporary novels under the name Nicole Bea, exploring themes of memory, vulnerability, and emotional healing.

She lives in Eastern Canada with her husband and a collection of multi-colored cats, surrounded by the kind of quiet that lets stories bloom.
