BioABOUT THIS BLOG:
For novel-research I’m retracing the steps of the Fourth Crusade. (That’s the one with the tag line, “No infidels were hurt in the making of this crusade.” If Monty Python made a movie about crusades, they’d pick this one.) Here, for your anecdotal pleasure and edification (I hope), are some highlights.
ABOUT NICOLE GALLAND:
Nicole Galland hails from Martha’s Vineyard Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. She’s a graduate of Harvard University, where she spent most of her time doing theatre, although she was actually getting a degree in Comparative Religion. Galland repatriated in California, where she co-founded a theatre company for teens that premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. She was awarded a full fellowship to pursue a PhD in Drama at UC Berkeley, however, she withdrew from the program and worked in theatre, writing, editing, and temp work the Bay Area and New York City. After winning an award for her screenplay The Winter Population, Galland moved to Los Angeles, where she spent a few years as a screenwriter. In April 2002 she rediscovered the unfinished outline to her novel The Fool's Tale, which she’d begun in college. After a high concentration of serendipity the book was completed in early 2003 and published in 2005. She recently stepped down from her position as Literary Manager/Dramaturg at Berkeley Repertory Theatre to focus on writing full-time. Galland recently completed her second novel and has begun work on her third.
