Frequently Asked Questions

What is your name?
~ My name is Nicole, but you can call me Nicki.

How old are you?
~ I turned 26 back in April of this year.

How long have you been writing stories?
~ I have been writing every since I was able to put words together. My first memory of writing a story was when I was around the age of 7 or 8.

Have you ever had any of your stories published?
~ Yes and no. I have had a few pieces of poetry published professionally and had one of my shorter novels published by a print on demand publisher.

Can I buy any of your old publications?
~ Unfortunately, no. I voided my contract with my publishing company as I did not approve of the way they were marketing their business which included my own publication.

Will you ever get any of your older pieces published?
~ I am not too sure at this time. Right now I just want to focus on the Nurakani series.

What does Nurakani mean? Who are the Nurakani?
~ Nurakani is a term used that means "he who uses power of will to make seen what is not truly there." In the series, magic is described as powers of will. They can be just as taxing as any form of physical labor and even more exhausting. When a pupil is learning to be part of the Nurakani, they must train in very small amounts. If care is not taken, they can be taken by the will completely.

What do you mean by "making seen what is not truly there?"
~ I know most of us grew up on ghost stories and the stories of the monster in our closets. As a child, what we were told would soon become visions, fears come to life in our own minds. True that there really was nothing after us, but our vivid imaginations took hold and soon we would find ourselves hiding under the covers just begging for morning to come.


You say this is a series of books, but I do not see all of them. Where is the rest of the series?
~ Right now I am working on the first book. However, I know right now there will at least be a second one, if not a third. When my stories come to me, I sometimes end up learning about the plot from the end to the beginning. Many times it works backwards. I already know what will happen in the end of the first book. However, to get to it, I need to write the beginning first ;)

What is the main character's name?
~ The main character was never given a name as a child and so there was never a need for one. I know it sounds difficult right now, but it will all fall into place later on.


If you have a question that is not listed here, feel free to leave a comment and I will answer the best I can. So long as it is not a planned piece of the future plot that is ;) Now, sit back, get a nice cup of tea and enjoy.
