The Boy in the Photo - Nicole Trope

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because--as her professor pointed out--'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature. After the birth of her first child she stayed home full time to write and raise children, renovate houses and build a business with her husband. The idea for her first published novel, The Boy Under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. Her second novel, Three Hours Late , was voted one of Fifty Books you can't put down in 2013 and her third novel, The Secrets in Silence , was The Australian Woman's Weekly Book of the month for June 2014. She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children.
