Nichole R. Bennett burst on the mystery scene early in 2007 with the inclusion of her first short story, The Hitchhiker, in the Donard Anthology.

"I've always been a writer," claims Nichole, who spent seven years in the United States Air Force as a public affairs specialist. "It's not always easy, but it's what I love to do!"

An avid mystery reader from a young age, Nichole has devoured Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, and Agatha Christie. Nichole has also had an ongoing fascination with the supernatural — everything from angels and spirits to ghosts and hauntings. It's only natural that she combine her two interests to create mysteries with a paranormal twist.

She lives in South Dakota with her husband, two daughters, three cats, and three dogs.
