Lorna Schultz Nicholson has three sports books being released in the fall of 2021: Amazing Hockey Stories: Alexander Ovechkin (sports non-fiction with Scholastic), Taking the Ice (a hockey middle-grade novel with Scholastic) and When You Least Expect It (a YA rowing novel with Red Deer Press). She has published children’s picture books, middle grade fiction, YA fiction and hockey non-fiction. Her books have been nominated for many different awards and are often on the CCBC’s Best Books for Kids and Teens list.

When Lorna was a kid, she loved to play sports, and she also loved to read, so she feels blessed that she has been able to combine her passions into a career. She can honestly say she loves her job! Her first pair of hockey skates were hand-me-downs from the boy down the street. In the summer she spent hours loosening up her ball glove. Today, she still loves sports. In her spare time, she likes to run, bike, swim, ski, play tennis and hit the golf course. She hates to admit that golf is perplexing to her and she hits the ball all over the place. Lorna also still loves to read, and she loves inspiring children to read.

Lorna lives in Edmonton with her husband (Go Oilers Go) and two dogs, a whiny bichon shih tzu, and a sort-of-naughty puppy she rescued from Mexico. Her website is https://lornaschultznicholson.com/
