Legend has it that Nicole Sharp was born to hippies during an ice storm in Stone Mountain, Georgia. While confirmation of said events cannot be agreed upon, one fact is for certain, it was a Tuesday. By age twelve, Nicole was sure of two things. 1) She wanted to be a writer and 2) She wanted to travel. She begged her parents to allow her to voyage alone to exotic lands. She was allowed to go from California to Boise Idaho to visit a great-grandmother.

Her first car was a yellow Chevy Celebrity and her favorite job was as a docent in a museum in an old Colorado mining town. And yes, she has written extensively about both.

In the course of her writing career, she's been published in a smattering of literary magazines, those short stories can be found here. These days she writes about Italy, love, coffee and quirky adventures of fearless women.
