Mary J NicholsMary J Nichols has been writing for seventeen years, having short stories published, some under a former pen name.

Writers such as Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Terry Brooks, and Richard Knaak, as well as Guy Gavriel Kay's "The Fionavar Tapestry", have been inspirations throughout her life.
