“… a poignant and uncompromising novel. With gritty and luminous prose, Nickol demands the reader’s attention on every page as he explores the price of ambition at all costs.”

Keep an eye out for The Sea Lanterns in March 2023! It's a novel about someone chasing their life even while they're fleeing from it. It's also about love, weather and mystery. More soon!

@BlackLawrence is running a sale on short story collections, including my own. Great time to pick up SUN RIVER, if you haven't already!

Writers out there--@BlackLawrence is open to submissions this month, and they are some of the finest people and most insightful literary minds I've ever worked with!

Excited to share that my novel THE SEA LANTERNS, from @VineLeavesPress, will hit shelves in 2023. The book involves basketball, ambition, memory, madness, family and weather. In other words, all the major human themes. More soon!

@legroff Also got to be careful not to spend $20 on assorted bulk jelly beans, which can happen like *that* and you won’t even catch a buzz.

Got a short essay on Hobart right now about parenting, and what that's all about. Hope you enjoy!
