USA Today bestselling author of Regency/medieval Scottish/paranormal EROTIC historical romance. NZer, bi, dessertaholic, history geek. Should be writing, probably procrastinating. Pearl clutchers beware.

I attended a nerdy scientific conference on pain management over the weekend (it was GREAT) but yes I did grin when one speaker talked about doms and my two worlds collided. (DOMS is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, lol)

Longtime creep makes creeper accessories for creeps.

NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Lol. Meanwhile, back in reality, people are going to turn Wicker into the smash hit of the year.

‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ director Will Gluck says they cut out “so much nudity” from the film because he thinks audiences dislike sex on screen. “Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable.” (Source: variety.com/2026/film/fe...)

RIP to the great Sam Neill, a truly awesome kiwi. Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Jurassic Park, The Tudors, The Piano, Evil Angels, Peaky Blinders... He made everything he starred in better. And he was a great human.

Mistletoe Minx update: Manuscript has gone to editor! I have a cover and it is gorgeous! Hoping to finalise release date details for my MF kinky Regency Christmas romp soon. STAY TUNED. ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥

TFW you try a facial moisturiser sample and it feels really lovely so you look it up to maybe watchlist...and discover it has gold and pearl powder in it and costs over NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS for 50ml. Sorry face, that brief foray into the rich list was a one off. 😂😱🤯

New Zealand did not get the memo that they were ranked 60 places below Iran and should have been smashed. Wood and Just, what a pairing. 2 great goals, (2 great goals from Iran as well) and a bunch of chances in front of an enthusiastic LA crowd. Awesome.

Author wail: When you're making notes for the last book in a series and not-so-silently cursing yourself for the various plot points you must somehow pull together. Why, Nicola? WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY????? 😭🤯🫠

One of my fave HR plot tropes is Dark Desires hero unraveling because he wants Proper Lady heroine but is SURE she will be horrified... Then actually she's all HELL YES, LOVE IT, MORE. 😍😍 * *this may be central in my WIP. Just saying.

Kinky Regency Christmas book update: I am currently writing the final chapter. EEEEEP. (Then of course, I need to settle on the right epilogue, because I love epilogues a whole lot!) 🔥♥️🔥♥️

Universe, we beseech thee: save our blood pressure from complete dipshits who ignore author bios, content warnings and other reviews, to have a giant whinge about sex scenes in DUN DUN DUN erotic romance. Welp.

Today is my birthday. I'm 47. 🤯 It's a GREAT day to: - Buy my books! Income means more writing. - Read my books in KU! See above. - Recommend/review my books! This helps so much. - Request my books for your local library! I love seeing my titles on shelves, and libraries purchase. Win/win! ♥️

It is...extremely effing annoying when your brain wakes you up with a REALLY good little plot point that would explain MMC's view on the world... ...then neatly WIPES IT from your memory when you are seated at the laptop. Epic sigh. Epic peri problems.

Woop! Hit the halfway mark of my new kinkfest Regency Christmas novella. Think: rakish duke dom unraveling cos of FEELINGS for his MoC duty duchess, flees to wild country house party. Fed up duchess dons a disguise and follows him... 🔥🔥🔥

Till the day I die, I will never understand how anyone can look at these grasping, crypto funded, hate filled, facist, flag shaggers and think “I’m sure they have my best interests at heart.”

NEWS Apart from releasing 6 books in paperback (Wickedly Wed series + Duke for Hire, Seven Sinful Nights, Her Virgin Duke) I'm also WRITING. YES, a 2026 release - a kinky Regency Xmas novella to follow up Mistletoe Mistress. (Heroine pals with Rachel) Prob Nov. Any questions, feel free to ask. ❤😃

Sincerest apologies to the wip couple who have been perched on a desk, waiting to fuck, for a solid week while I have been attending to paperback and other admin matters. I PROMISE you will get it good very shortly. 🔥♥️🔥♥️

No historical era is a monolith where everyone, everywhere behaved the same, had identical beliefs and values, and obediently followed every law or society edict. Yes, this includes the Regency era. FFS. It is beyond ridiculous to claim all people thought/felt/said/did/didn't do xyz.

Random question of the day: if you are a paperback lover, which of my books or series do you NEED to cradle in your hot little hands?? (If your answer is the Wickedly Wed series, watch this space!)

Finished watching the Love Story series last night. 1. Paps really were soulless lunatics in the 90s. 2. It's a truly sad state of affairs if people considered those two a great romance of the ages. 3. CKS has suffered a terrible amount of loss. 4. Best actress was Constance Zimmer.

Thanks to World Cup trending I have now heard "Lighter" the official 2026 song and we are living in the dumbest timeline. (The comments rocked though.) Whoever wrote it was clearly on a bad trip. Chains rattling! The devil! Old boots! High and getting higher! Hard wood floors! Heavenly choir! JFC.

Your regular reminder that erotica is a story structure not a heat level. (The amount of people on here claiming anything with even slightly explicit sex scenes is erotica is just ludicrous.) Relationship journey + sex journey + HEA = EROTIC ROMANCE.
