Author Bio
Lucy started writing as soon as she could hold a pen and has never stopped. She wrote her first play at eight: a nativity play told from the point of view of the donkey, which was performed for many years at her nursery school. After university she worked in advertising, journalism and TV. She had the idea for Nickolai of the North whilst talking to her daughter about who filled Santa`s stocking when he was little. She wrote much of the book in midsummer, sitting in her garden, conjuring up the snow and ice of winter. You can visit her website at www.lucydanielraby.co.uk.
