Hi, I'm Nicole.

I'm a midlife mom, reader, gardener, and believer that the best stories are the ones you can't stop thinking about long after you've turned the last page.

Nicole in Fiction is a place for women who love books and the slower moments that make life beautiful. Here you'll find thoughtful reviews, carefully curated reading lists, seasonal inspiration, and recommendations you can trust. From literary fiction and historical fiction to romance, family dramas, and the occasional thriller, I read widely so you can always find your next favorite book.

When I'm not reading, you'll usually find me tending the garden, planning my next trip, needlepointing, or enjoying a quiet evening on the porch with a good story.

I'm also the editor of The Fiction House, a seasonal digital magazine celebrating books, beautiful homes, gardens, travel, recipes, and the art of reading well.

Whether you've been here for years or you've just discovered Nicole in Fiction, I'm so glad you're here.

Find a comfortable chair, turn the page, and stay awhile.
