The second oldest in a family of six, Nic was the first boy in his small rural Pennsylvania town to NOT get his prom date pregnant. Voted most likely to take a boy to bed on the first date by his high school senior class (and they thought that was an insult), Nic has worked hard to live up to this title. While he is definitely royalty, no one would call him a queen. His name ultimately says it all. His erotic writing has appeared in the Alyson Press anthologies
Sex Buddies
and
Bad Boys.
