about me
J. Marie Nicholls grew up in rural Victoria, Australia, but moved to the city at the age of 18. She trained as a photographer, then as a filmmaker and worked in the film industry for ten years.
In the early 90s she began writing her first novel, Sleeping Gods, which did moderately well on this site so long as she hustled for readers and spent many hours reading other work here. It has since been self-published with blurb.com and removed from authonomy. Her latest work will be uploaded when the manuscript is complete.
Authonomy has been a useful tool in the editing process, and in making lasting connections with other new writers.
