Author Nicole Meier is a native Southern Californian who pulled up roots and moved to the Pacific Northwest. Because of this, her happy places include both the beach and the mountains. Her debut novel, The House of Bradbury, was released in May 2016 via Sparkpress to great acclaim. In Meier's summer sizzler: "Mia Gladwell’s life is going nowhere. The media has skewered her debut novel, her fiancé Carson, a successful Hollywood producer, has jumped ship, and now she’s living in her sister’s carriage house—unattached, unemployed and uninspired. Then she learns that the Los Angeles estate of iconic author Ray Bradbury is up for sale, and she feels an immediate urge to buy the wonky old house, convinced that moving into the late author’s home will inspire her to create her best work yet. (However) life in the Bradbury house is not what Mia imagined." In addition to being a novelist, Nicole writes for several lifestyle and travel publications. She lives in Oregon with her husband and children who kindly put up with her crazy spurts of writerly determination.
