Step into a world of fantasy and inspiration with romantacy author Nicola Tyche as she shares her writing process and talks about overcoming challenges one step at a time to create captivating stories!

In this episode of the Write It Scared podcast, I interview American author Nicola Tyche, known for her critically acclaimed romantic fantasy series Crowns.

Nicola shares insights into her writing journey, detailing how a colleague's encouragement led her to publishing, and after more than five years, she finally hit publish. 

She talks about her debut trilogy 'Crowns,' released in July 2023, consisting of 'North Queen,' 'Shadow Queen,' and 'War Queen,' and highlights the importance of strong character relationships in her books and her non-linear approach to writing.

She also touches on the personal challenges she faced, including battling stage two breast cancer and how it's necessary to just take one thing at a time. 

She emphasizes the value of critique partners, beta readers, and professional editing in improving her work. Nicola also hints at upcoming projects and where fans can find her, including her presence on social media and upcoming book signing events.
