À propos de l'auteur
Nicole Brooks has a degree in Environmental Science and an intense love of the earth, which she has combined within these pages to try and convince you that all we need is love. Actually, Nicole Brooks is a tree-hugging, earth-loving, nature-nerd that spends a lot of time trying to write a way out of the dead black hole we, as humans, now find ourselves in. Honestly, Nicole Brooks doesn’t really know what she’s doing. She just sat down one day to write and hasn’t gotten out of the chair, she finds it that addictive. But for real, Nicole Brooks lives in rural Alberta with her lovely little family, to whom she regularly freaks out to when she sees any large raptor flying overhead. Or a cool, twisted dead tree. Or a cute muskrat. Or a fascinating iridescent bug. She’s basically a spastic observer of all those little things that may otherwise go unseen.
