BIOGRAPHY - NICOLE JONES

An award-winning writer from North Carolina, Nicole won a full writing scholarship to Duke University in 1989. After graduation, she served a brief stint in the US Army before relocating to California. She is the writer/creator of three independent comic book series - "ROADKILL ZOO," "PRISON OF THE DAMNED" and "NUOS." "NUOS" developed, in part, as a result of her collaborations with an internationally reknowned physicist on a revisionist history of technology through the ages, called "The Tides of Civilization." She has also has several short stories and numerous technical articles published. She co-founded Year of the Horse Studios in 2002 with director Ian Jones, and formed Novaris Entertainment in 2003. When she is not busy working on her latest screenplay, Nicole volunteers as a script reader for various screenwriting competitions and events in the Los Angeles area.
