The editor of local magazine, The Bristol Nine, was intrigued by the idea of a local author self-publishing her first book. He manfully tackled all manner of technological challenges (such as, not owning a Kindle at the time) to read my masterpiece. Here’s what he thinks:

This week, I’m visiting Brittany Roshelle on her blog, The Write Stuff, for another massive event on the virtual book tour for Sophie’s Turn… [drumroll…]
Today (Monday), Brittany is hosting me during an author interview. Brittany was particularly interested in the logistics of self-publishing a novel and the process of writing. I talk about why I chose to go the ‘indie’ route, what challenges lay in wait, and how I got my book from ‘tree’ format to ‘e’ format and out there into the blue yonder…. And also, I tell all about what is the best part about being an author!
On Tuesday, Brittany offers her very own views on Sophie’s Turn! Be sure to check out her review on her blog–especially as there is a give-away competition associated with the review. One lucky blog reader will win a free Kindle copy of Sophie’s Turn!
And now I would like to say a very big Thank You indeed to Brittany for hosting this triple-whammy jam-packed stop on her fabulous blog. Your support and enthusiasm are both invigorating and invaluable! 🙂
I look forward to seeing y’all on The Write Stuff soon.
Cheerio from

Jonita Fex at the Book Chick just loves chick lit, and especially all things British. So when I contacted her for a review, I felt a little bit nervous. Would Sophie’s Turn live up to Jonita’s very high expectations….?
Well, I think it did! Jonita gave Sophie’s Turn four out of five stars and concludes: I loved the British charm that was evident on every page, as well as the plot that kept me reading well past my bedtime. This is a must-read that does the chick lit genre proud.

A great big thank you to Jonita for taking the time to read Sophie’s Turn… and for writing the review on one of the busiest days of the school year, and overcoming all sorts of technical hitches to post it. You are a rock star, Jonita! 🙂

Rea Sinfield from Reabookreviews has taken the time to read and review my debut novel, Sophie’s Turn… and she enjoyed herself! Rea concludes that she would definitely recommend reading my book: She says, “I feel as though Nicky has a style of writing which makes it easy to read and also using more realistic scenarios which makes the books easier to relate to and enjoy. I found there were also some lovely humorous touches in this novel which were not predictable.” Check out the full review at http://reabookreview.blogspot.com/2011/08/sophies-turn-by-nicky-wells.html?showComment=1314643761467#c9019176393986634841.
Rea also had a slightly spooky experience with reading Sophie’s Turn as one of the events that happen to Sophie and Tim also happened to her a while back… pretty much, actually, as I was writing the book: and **that** spooked me! If anyone else out there has any novel-reality-transference experiences relating to Sophie’s Turn, please do get in touch!
Thanks to Rea for taking the time to read and review Sophie’s Turn. Rea awarded Sophie’s Turn four stars on www.goodreads.com.

Hello! Just to alert you to another fantastic review for Sophie’s Turn, this one by Lou Graham. Lou concludes:
“This is a great book and very easy to read. … There are lots of very funny elements to this book and some great characters. …. Packed full of heated highs but also some very sad lows that might have you reaching for a tissue. (Loved the ending) Nicky has written a perfect ChickLit book that easily stands up against the others available today in the shops.
