About the Author

Nicole Evelina is an award-winning historical fiction, non-fiction and women’s fiction writer whose books have won nearly 30 awards. The first two books in her Guinevere trilogy, Daughter of Destiny and Camelot’s Queen were named Books of the Year by Chanticleer Reviews and Author’s Circle, respectively. Her most recent book, The Once and Future Queen, which was named Non-Fiction Book of the Year by Author’s Circle, examines popular works of Arthurian fiction by more than 20 authors over the last 1,000 years to show how the character of Guinevere changes to reflect attitudes toward women.

Her mission as a writer is to rescue little-known women from being lost in the pages of history. While others may choose to write about the famous, she tells the stories of those who are in danger of being forgotten so that their memories may live on for at least another generation. She also writes from the female point of view since the male perspective has historically been given more attention.

When she’s not writing, she can be found reading, playing with her spoiled twin Burmese cats, cooking, researching, dreaming of living in Chicago or the English countryside…and of course, plotting her next book.
