Nicole Aisling is equal parts biology nerd, animal lover, and story enthusiast. She studied biology in college, but an incurable thirst for knowledge led her astray to philosophy and psychology classes, which inspired stories like Chasing Nightmares. She loves merging magic with science, creating worlds grounded in physics and biology… but still fantastical. When she's not outside enjoying nature, she can be found cuddled up on the couch with her dogs, settled in for either a good book or the latest TV episode.
