Nicole Stuart


Biography

Nicole Stuart graduated with degrees in Commerce and Law, and, after gaining experience in banking, industry and commerce, started work with an international company as a Management Consultant. She rose rapidly through the ranks, and was seconded to operations of the company in Australia, Britain, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America for lengthy periods. This gave her the opportunity to experience where and how others live and work as well as an insight into a wide array of businesses. It also helped to lift the veil that obscures our views of other people, and revealed to her the ‘blinkers’ that so many people have, limiting their ability to see things the way they really are.
She has a voracious interest in how things work, as well as in writing, with a considerable fiction output. She takes pride in basing her writings on a foundation of real life, finding existing conditions that pose real threats, and extrapolating them to produce exciting and entertaining reading, usually with the result that the reader asks “How would I have handled that?”
She is currently touring Southern Africa ‘to get some background’ for her next book.
