ABOUT ME

​​

      Writer in Progress. Sufferer of Wanderlust. Human Sidekick.

​​​

Nic Plume writes character-driven science fiction about people under pressure—stories of loyalty and belonging, resilience, and the choices that determine who we are.

She is the award-winning author of the science fiction series Shadows of Peace and Prowler, as well as several short stories in William Alan Webb’s Last Brigade Universe. She has also edited or proofread more than sixty novels, including work for multiple bestselling authors and over twenty German-language translations for an independent publisher.

​

A native German, Nic was born and raised in Germany and immigrated to the United States after falling in love with the US soldier she would later marry. As a military spouse, she spent much of her adult life within the US Army community and was profoundly shaped by its unique challenges, relationships, and culture.

German is her first language. She began learning English in school and later perfected it through daily lessons with dragons—specifically the Pern and Dragonlance series, but lessons with dragons sound much better.

​

A lifelong question-asker, Nic is fascinated by what drives people and why they make the choices they do. Her experiences living within the military community and as an immigrant and traveler shape the way she explores the human side of conflict. Her stories are about resilience, quiet strength, and people who refuse to give up even when their world is falling apart.

​

When she isn’t writing, editing, or helping other authors improve their stories, Nic lives and travels with her husband and their German Shepherd in their home on wheels, Miss Bevi Josephine. They are no longer full-time nomads and are also building a permanent home base in the mountains of North Carolina.

The wanderlust remains. Nic still prefers the roads less traveled—and enjoys surprising her copilot with a well-timed “Wheee!” just before the water hits the windshield.
