Born in Durban in '78, Nicola Ann Beykirch penned 'Girl in the Pickle Jar,' her debut novel published in April '23. It's an unapologetic cautionary tale, tackling toxic culture, discrimination, and abuse. She is creating the sequel and developing the exciting trilogy conclusion, with a surprise narrator taking centre stage. Nicola's London-based, and she frequently jets off to her roots and uncharted waters in a sailing yacht.
