Nicola Gibbon was born in Cairns, Far North Queensland, and grew up in a small, rural town on the edge of the Atherton Tablelands called Mt Garnet. She attained her Bachelor of Business (Accounting) degree with Distinction and has built a successful career in the financial sector of the corporate world.Nicola now lives with her husband, Dave, and their blue English Staffy, Nitro, on their catamaran in the Cairns Marlin Marina. She describes herself as a finance professional with an overactive imagination. She enjoys writing, swimming, fishing, and all things to do with the ocean.Whilst recuperating from a back operation and taking daily walks along the Cairns Esplanade, Nicola fell in love with a local pelican whom she nicknamed 'Percy'. Suddenly, the walks became less about physiotherapy and more about catching a glimpse of Percy and watching him diving for fish, grooming his wings, or having a swim. From there, the creative juices flowed, and the first of what she hopes will be many books about Percy the Pelican came to fruition.
