After working extensively in teen mentoring and living in Israel for a few years, she returned to the United States to write full-time. <i>Dear Martin, </i>her first novel, is loosely based on a series of true events involving the shooting deaths of unarmed African American teenagers. Shaken by the various responses to these incidents--and to the pro-justice movement that sprang up as a result--Stone began the project in an attempt to examine current affairs through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s teachings. <p/> You can find her fangirling over her husband and sons on Twitter and Instagram at @getnicced or on her website nicstone.info.
