Jude Nicholas

Jude Nicholas writes novels about the meaner side of the world.

​She has never had a blinding flash of inspiration.

​She puts stories together like other people make patchwork quilts, forcing whatever scraps she can lay hands on to fit together.

​She has one of those faces that makes strangers at bus stops tell her their life stories.

She hates odd numbers and seagulls.

​She has never met a normal person and would therefore never write about one.

​She is prone to occasional panic attacks, the odd unprompted crisis.

​She blogs, with varying levels of profanity, about the experience of writing.

​She has no idea what to write on an 'about the author' page.

​All of the above perhaps explains why Taint is her first published novel.
