Nicola M. Cameron

Nicola M. Cameron is a married woman of a certain age who enjoys writing about science fiction, fantasy, and romance. When not writing, she likes to knit and quilt. And she may be rather fond of absinthe.While possessing a healthy interest in romance and sex since puberty, it wasn’t until 2012 that she decided to try writing about them. The skills picked up during her SF writing career transferred rather nicely to SF/fantasy/paranormal romance. Her To Be Written work queue currently stands at around nineteen books, and her mojito-sodden Muse swans in from Bali every so often to add to the list, cackling to herself all the while.When not working, Nicola is usually making StuffTM, kissing her husband, or entertaining her cats.

London, December 24, 1895

The last thing Sir Henry Carstairs expected to see on Christmas Eve was a flock of winged demi-fae hovering over the spruce tree in the sitting room, delicately wrapping garlands of maroon cranberries around the deep green needles.

No. That was the second-to-last thing he’d expected to see this Christmas Eve. The last thing
