Nicci Mayne is an avid romantic who thrives on the courage of her book characters as they overcome adversity. 
Nicci was born in the iconic city of Cape Town, and lived in a proudly loud and vocal family of five for 17 short years before moving away to attend university in Port Elizabeth. 
Nicci qualified as a social worker in South Africa and went on to complete an honours degree in psychology, before moving home to a little English village in Derbyshire. 
She continues to live in the Midlands with her obstinate husband, two equally opinionated children and moody canines - all of who do their best to tolerate her sweet temperament. She adores her family. They are the ink in the pen that completes her life's 'Full Circle'.
