#WOTR26 Author Interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you hear about this event?\u00a0 How many years have you attended?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What genres do you write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a book of yours you wish more people read?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is one fun fact about you?\u00a0 It can be anything like food allergy, fear of something, weird way you broke a bone…….<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
