A Million Miles From Normal

Paige Nick (novelist, columnist and advertising copywriter)

Many people would know her from her weekly column on sex, dating, and romance, and other crazy shenanigans, in the Sunday Times newspaper. But Paige Nick is more than the sex-obsessed writer many people wrote in to the newspaper would have us believe!

Nick's first book, A Million Miles from Normal (2010) and her second novel, This Way Up (2011), were followed by a co-authorship with Sarah Lotz and Helen Moffett in 2013, of series of Choose Your Own Adventure erotic novels, including, A Girl Walks into a Bar, A Girl Walks into a Wedding and Girl Walks into a Blind Date, which were sold in 21 countries around the world. In April 2015 She brought us a compilation of her Sunday Times columns - and reader’s responses to them - in Pens Behaving Badly.

Paige started the Good Book Appreciation Society on Facebook in 2013, which has amassed over 12000 followers - all bibliophiles!
