Nicole Northwood is an indie author who writes quiet, emotional fantasy woven with soft magic, often-forbidden romance, and lyrical prose. By day, Nicole works as a project manager in the medical technology field, but by starlight, she’s usually taking moody photographs, wandering in her garden, or sharing cozy moments with her cats and husband.

Nicole is the creator of The Night Garden (Fairytales of the Lochs), Beneath the Starlit Sea, In Flames, and The Devil You Know, with more novels on the horizon. Living in Nova Scotia, Canada, she draws inspiration from fog‑heavy coastlines, rainy evenings, and the idea that running into the woods might just help solve some of her plot holes. Readers often describe her work as Rebecca Ross meets Nicholas Sparks because in her stories, enchantments and love intertwine to explore what it truly means to be human.
