Nell E. S. Douglas has possessed a deep, abiding love for written words since childhood. Her first stories, penned on the lined pages of class notebooks, were inspired by her mother’s poetry and epic tales of travel, and a professorial inquisitiveness inherited from her father. Following college in Florida, Nell exited the world of pure imagination, and entered the one of business, successfully establishing a career in real estate, and developing a cup-a-day habit (of coffee). Today, Nell writes everything from novels to essays during the spaces in-between domestic goddessing, and contributing as a managing partner of a small business. Nell resides in Florida, with her husband and their children, passing on the traditions of her mother, and sinking her feet in the sand whenever possible. She's easily bribed with cupcakes or dirty martinis and loves chatting with her readers.
