Nicole Glover is a fantasy writer with whose Murder & Magic series spans generations of a family with magical powers. Her work blends historical fiction with cozy fantasy. Her novels The Conductors and The Undertakers take place in post Civil War Philadelphia where Hetty Rhodes and her husband Benjy were part of the Underground Railroad using magic to help free enslaved people. Now, they are solving mysteries in the Black community that white authorities won’t touch. Her novel The Improvisers takes place during the Prohibition Era where one of Hetty Rhodes’ descendants—who is also a wielder of magic—is a pilot that discovers a dangerous artifact that is controlling people.

Glover’s newest novel, The Starseekers, releases on January 6, 2026. The story centers on another Rhodes family member, Cynthia Rhodes, a NASA arcane engineer in the mid-1900s who is brilliant at both math and magic. She becomes involved in an investigation of a mysterious theft at the arcane history museum which leads to surprising connections between deadly enchantments, rumored pirate treasure, a peculiar plant, and a dire threat to the space program as well as everything she holds dear.
