Nica Berry started writing when she was young, her first
book being titled "Mickey and Beasley and the Missing
Dinosaur Egg."  From there, she wrote a biopic about the life
and death of her fish, Rumble, which led to going overboard
on various school creative writing projects.

Her first novel-length work was a Star Trek: the Next
Generation fan fiction, but after realizing she could never sell
it, Nica rewrote it into a fantasy novel which turned out a lot
better, and the process got her interested in the finer details
of writing.

She attended the 2005 Clarion Writer's Workshop for
Science Fiction and Fantasy, the 2007 Taos Toolbox
workshop for SF/F novelists, and graduated with a Master's
degree in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University in
January 2008.

When she's not writing, Nica likes to hang out at the zoo and
take pictures of the animals.  She lives in southern California
with her two cats
