#WOTR26 Author Interviews

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Nicole Craig. I’m a retired teacher after 25 years teaching English and theatre in high school. I’m married and have three furry children: Toulouse, Spirit (aka The Flerken), and Missandei. We adopt geriatric and special needs cats. I’m also a competitive bowler, and I volunteer at a local community theatre doing onstage and backstage work.

 

How did you hear about this event?  How many years have you attended?

I first heard about WOTR in 2023 from Anna Blakely and her husband, Christian, on their weekly Talk Tuesday video chats. I couldn’t go that year, but I went as a reader in 2024 and had the best time. It became a goal to be invited in the future, but I never expected it to be the first year I applied.

 

What genres do you write?

Romantic Suspense, particularly Protector Romance, but I just started branching out into police procedurals with my books in Susan Stoker’s Police & Fire world. In 2025, I plan to have at least one science fiction (alien LGBTQ+ series) romance and at least one sports romance (baseball series) out.

 

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?

Never Enough is all about conflict precious gem mining in Africa. There was a lot of research that went into that book, so I would love more people to be aware that we’re still in an era of conflict product.

 

What is one fun fact about you?  It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….

Last year I shared my rhinoceros story, so this time I’ll share that I was bitten by a monkey in Roatan. About 50% of my first novel takes place there, so I had one of my side characters get bitten by a snake there as a sort of Easter egg. I hide a lot of personal things in my novels.
