Who is Nicolette?

Best-selling author Nicolette Pierce started out as a daydreamer. Truly, she could never be a teacher’s pet due to the number of times she had to be scolded to pay attention. When she received an assignment to write a story, suddenly life made sense.

 

Nicolette daydreams in Wisconsin with her husband and son. In her free time, she adores finding treasures for her little free library, annoying her family, and finding unique places to vacation. Her husband still won’t forgive her for having to sleep surrounded by camel dung. She’s not sorry.

 

The three things that are consistant in her work: 1) A mystery. 2) A woman trying to get through life without injury. 3) A hot guy looking to be a hero. Level of heat depends on the hero. A couple of them are quite naughty. Level of hilarity is from ha-ha to ROFL. 

 

Nicolette has three other pen names:

 

Sophia Paisley all about romance. If you're looking for the romance titles previously released under Nicolette, they have been moved and rebranded for Sophia. Why? Algorithms were making it hard to market romance if they were among mystery. 

 

Nicky Graves is all about YA paranormal. These fun stories retain the humor and mystery you'd find in my adult mystery series.

 

Melissa Nicole is a pseudonym for Melissa Haag and Nicolette Pierce. We met by chance in Wisconsin and discovered we're almost neighbors. Blending my humorous mystery world with Melissa's paranormal romance world, we created an action packed series filled with mystery, one liners, and paranormal creatures. 

 

Facts about Nicolette (in a rambling sort of order), which may or may not be interesting:

 

1) I love to travel. 

2) I have one son. Two if I count my husband, which I sometimes do. 

3) No favorite color. Seriously, I can't peg one down. Does a rainbow count?

4) Standard pizza toppings are black olives and mushrooms.

5) Terrified of snakes. 

6) I live in Wisconsin and I have a fondness for cheese curds right from the factory.

7) For ten years I lived in California. (Napa, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, and Fresno.)

8) I've been a vegetarian since 1995. Bacon still smells good but my taste for meat has vanished. I found that tidbit out during the sausage pizza scare of 2010.

9) One of my favorite genres to read (besides mystery) is regency romance.

10) The most magical place I've been to is Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany. Go there during Christmas and walk the streets after the tourists go away.

11) Worst place I slept was in the Siwa Oasis. The hotel was infested with cockroaches. Not one or two. Hundreds in the room.

12) I can't decide if I like peaches or watermelon more.

13) Worms will make me scream and run away.

14) I love TV sitcoms. The Big Bang Theory and Brooklyn 99 were my top favorites. Now it's the Goldbergs.

15) Favorite donut is Boston Cream

16) I made my own deoderant. It worked so good it burned my skin off.

17) I love watching Asian series, especially those from South Korea, Thailand, and occasionally Japan.

18) I'd wear flip-flops year round if I could. 

19) I have a problem with women's clothing. Where are the pockets? Seriously, where are the pockets?

20) I've tried sports. They don't like me.

21) Most pictures I post on social media or my newsletter are from Snapchat. Filters are fun. 

22) If I have no plans, pajamas come on at 3pm. So, basically every day.

23) I enjoy romantic comedies.

24) I have an app to remind me to water my indoor plants. Bad things happen otherwise.

25) My degree is in Television & Video Production. I've worked for several network stations. My favorite job is a Floor Director. Least favorite is teleprompter. I will screw up every time. Beware of the angry news anchor :)

26) Attended film school in NYC.

 

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I've enjoyed writing them.
