Portrait of Lore Nicole

Lore Nicole

Short story
Arista’s Blade: A Gender-Swapped Arthurian Romance
She disguised herself as a warrior, the sword revealed her as queen, and he discovered the woman behind both.

Short author bio

Lore Nicole believes in happily ever afters—not because life is easy, but because she's lived through the hard parts and come out the other side.

Living on a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin with her husband and three children, Lore writes sweet but spicy paranormal romance and fantasy infused with authentic glimpses of chronic illness, neurodivergence, and the messy, beautiful reality of choosing hope. Her own love story began with an annoying 11-year-old boy on the school bus who wouldn't stop talking about tractors (and sometimes got smacked with her book for it), and grew into a marriage that has survived their youngest son's brain cancer battle and everything life has thrown their way.

Books were Lore's escape in childhood, and she writes to offer that same gift to others—along with the quiet reassurance that HEAs are real, even when life gets hard.
