Nicole Evans (she/hers) is a queer, disabled SFF writer with an MFA in Fiction who’s been stuck in the Midwest of America since birth, but hopes to escape to a forest someday. Her earliest memories writing stories were from 6th grade, where she wrote an epic tale of her entire class fighting off flying pigs and skeletons with red eyes that carried buckets of bloody-red daggers. (Her creativity has stuck with her, but she hopes she's learned more plot since then.) She has written eight novels, countless short stories and lots of smutty fanfiction. Her ninth novel, <em>Blood Price</em>, made her authorial debut in 2024.<br><br>When not writing, she can be found bemoaning the size of her TBR pile, avoiding the main mission in RPGs until every side quest is done, obsessing over trees, watching birds she can’t name, getting another tattoo and eating a lot of sharp cheddar cheese.<br><br>She lives with her sci-fi streaming partner, Edward, and their two pets: Sasha the cat and Dovahkiin the dog. You can find her online via her LinkTree.<br>
