Nikki Marmery is a UK-based author of historical and mythological fiction. She is drawn to what is missing: the lost voices and stories that can be glimpsed through the gaps in recorded history and hidden in ancient myths and folklore.
Her first novel ON WILDER SEAS is inspired by the true story of Maria, the only woman on board Francis Drake’s ship, the Golden Hind, during his circumnavigation voyage in 1577-1580. Her second novel LILITH is a retelling of the Hebrew myth of the first woman – Adam’s wife before Eve – who was evicted from Paradise when she refused her husband’s authority.
