Nic Stone is a native of Atlanta and a Spelman College
graduate. After working extensively in teen mentoring and living in
Israel for a few years, she returned to the United States to write
full-time. Dear Martin, her first novel, is loosely based
on a series of true events involving the shooting deaths of unarmed
African American teenagers. Shaken by the various responses to
these incidents--and to the pro-justice movement that sprang up as
a result--Stone began the project in an attempt to examine current
affairs through the lens of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s
teachings.
You can find her fangirling over her husband and sons on Twitter
and Instagram at @getnicced or on her website nicstone.info.
