Author A to Z

Mary Nichols, who joined the RNA in the early sixties, began her writing career with articles and short stories before turning to novels.  After writing ten books for Robert Hale between 1981 and 1985, she went on to write historical romance for Mills & Boon.  Most are Regency but some have a Victorian or Georgian background. 

Mary also writes longer mainstream women’s fiction and these are mainly set in East Anglia. 

The Summer House published in 2009 by Allison and Busby was on the long list for the RNA’s Romantic Novel of the Year Award.  Mary is also the author of The Mother of Necton, a biography of her grandmother, a village nurse and midwife.
