Must Have Been Those Butterflies is a collaboration of poetry with photo art strongly influenced by Nicole's personal experiences with lust, infatuation and love. The words and images shared in this book are real notions, created by her highly sensitive, emotional psyche. An expression of her most intimate, deepest thoughts, shared vividly and freely, meant to entice, inspire and enlighten an open minded, curious and emotionally intrigued audience.

The emotions in both the photos and the poetry are a reflextion of her complex personality--sensual, sexual, artistic, sadistic, intimate, aggressive, strong, sensitive, impatient, analytical, friendly, carefree, funny, loving, trusting, considerate--intertwining, toying and tangling her in and out of relationships.

The intention of this poetry and photography book is to express the emotional torments that tease the soul and taunt the heart on behalf of the millions of hidden, shunned, shamed, unexplained, damaged, jaded, sorry, degraded, sad, angry, betrayed, forgotten, and alas, broken, hearts.May the reader find comfort and encouragement, inspiration and realization in her words and images; rest knowing one is not alone in the lonely world of lost loves. Although she's had her fair share of emotional battles and scars, she vows to never lose hope in finding true happiness, as she follows hers: Butterflies.

Intuition: The Ultimate Unity is a collaboration of fantasy and reality inspired poems with photo art. In this profound poetry collection, Nicole confronts the entrenched mind, examining the distinction, transition and union of fantasy and reality. She takes us deep into the subliminal mind, challenging those questions we all ask ourselves: Is my ego or my subconscious driving my thoughts? Is this feeling inside me a consequence of love or pain? Are my ideas derived from a sober or altered state of mind? Is this ending really just my new beginning? In Intuition: The Ultimate Unity Nicole aims to open our minds and touch our souls with words and images created by her personal experiences exploring the magical wonders of the human psyche. She shares her encounters in hope to intrigue us to embrace and interchange our own fantasies, realities, thoughts, dreams, visions, feelings and reactions. Nicole sets the precedence that by following our intuition, anything and everything is possible inside our minds. Within our minds, we can enable our fantasies to transcend into our realities and thus, experience the ultimate unity. Nicole vows to always believe in the possibility of the ultimate unity of fantasy and reality, as she follows hers: Intuition."Nicole has a consistent and distinctive poetic voice, one that is developed only through the diligent pursuit of one's craft. In this collection of poems she chronicles the sometimes tortured journey of falling in and out of love, and the dangers of surrendering emotionally and physically to another. Her poetry is often tinged with irony and yet she does not succumb to cynicism but perseveres. Her resilient hopefulness and sense of self-sacrifice is reminiscent of Oscar Wilde's thrush in his fairytale, The Happy Prince, where the bird presses its breast against a pale rose to redden its petals with his blood. It is a rose bought at great price that is finally given to an unappreciative lover who throws it away." Gabor Barabas, Producer, NJ Repertory Company"In her search for distinction between fantasy and reality, Nicole confronts and exposes the human psyche in her latest collaboration of poetry with photo art, Intuition, The Ultimate Unity. She eloquently combines creative writing with abstract, yet beautiful, images. Insightful and impressive, Intuition, The Ultimate Unity is an impassioned experience: Truly a ride for one's senses " Jennifer Turiello, Vocal Artist, Musician, CA
