I worked for many years in media and government communications, but haven't looked back since deciding writing wicked historical romance was infinitely more fun! 
When not chained to my computer, I can be found ambling along one of New Zealand's beautiful beaches, belting out 80's power ballads or cheering on the All Blacks rugby team. If these activities include chocolate - even better! - Nicola Davidson

I’m probably not your typical psychologist, having been born and raised in a working-class area of Liverpool in North-West England, a place where life opportunities (at that time) were limited. Any ideas of going to university or having a career were never even considered as possibilities and it wasn’t until later on in life while living in New Zealand that I began to think about an education for myself. - Dr Doreen Davy
