The HEA Lover: First can we call you Nicole or do you prefer Dr. Peeler?

Nicole: Everywhere outside of the classroom I’m Nicole. But some people enjoy calling me Dr. Peeler. I think it’s because I don’t look anything like a serious professor.

The HEA Lover*: Jocelynn, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Jocelynn: Is there more to life than writing? For me, the answer would have to be “not much.” A Cincinnati, Ohio native, I started writing stories at the age of twelve and have never looked back from those early days of retelling the tale of Robin Hood so that it included a kick-ass heroine that could keep up with the rest of the boys. Over the years, I have jumped from genre to genre, finding new ways …
