About Me

Iâ€™m Nell, and I was born and continue to live in a small area of the UK known as the Black Country. Happily married to the same man for over twenty years, we have three beautiful daughters, a tank of tropical fish and a cactus called Spike. During the day I work full-time as a health visitor in my local community.In my spare time I enjoy travelling with my family in our touring caravan and exploring the countryside. I have a passion for cathedral architecture and historic buildings. I also enjoy walking, gardening and art.Ever since I can remember Iâ€™ve loved stories and books, both reading and writing them. Writing romance remains my first love and I write the kinds of stories that I love to read. This year I have several books being released. Check out my website http:/www.nelldixon.com for excerpts and contests or read my blog for writerly news. I am published by Little Black Dress, Samhain Publishing, Moonlit Romance, By Grace Publishing and The People's Friend. In April 2007 I won the Romance Prize for category length romance with my book, Marrying Max.
