Welcome to my creative hub! 📚

Greetings, friends!

I'm Nico Roy, a writer of dark contemporary fiction (and occasionally some other stuff, such as the eco-dystopian webcomic I'm currently developing). Any pronouns you want to use for me are fine.

This space is intended primarily to be a hub of my creative works, writing and publication updates, and a central site to which I can direct readers and industry professionals. I'm also into drawing and urban/nature photography as hobbies, and will share pieces semi-regularly on this blog.

Please note that the majority of posts that appear on this blog are scheduled in advance.

Other places you can find me online:

Other notes:

All photos that appear on this blog, unless explicitly sourced, are either from Pexels or my own photos.

This blog is mostly intended for updates and examples of my completed works. Check out my main blog if you want to see posts about my works-in-progress, occasional concept art sketches, and/or interact with me. I love to connect with other creatives.

18 years ago today I wrote the first words of LIFE IN BLACK AND WHITE, which would become, and remains, the book of my heart. We have had such a long and storied journey together, and I can't wait to someday share it with you. 🌙❄️

It's all over now, baby blue.

Blue, yellow and rust

Pixie dust

I am an abstraction burning with the sun

I am no one

The morning light is turning blue, the feeling is bizarre

The night is almost over, I still don't know where you are

💙

Go follow your gem, your white-feathered friend

Icarus, point to the Sun

If history speaks of two baby teeth

I'm painting the hills blue and red

They said beware, Lord hear my prayer

I've wasted my throes on your head

Those who came before me

Lived through their vocations

From the past until completion

They'll turn away no more

It's hard to say what it is I see in you

Wonder if I'll always be with you

Words can't say and I can't do

Enough to prove it's all for you

Rain comes pourin' down (pourin' down)

Fallin' from blue skies (fallin' from blue skies)

I woke up to the morning sky, first

Baby blue, just like we rehearsed

I'm already scared of the winter

Even though summer's taking her sweet time to start

It's her manipulative heart

She's full of greed, she's such a tease

With her neon blues and greens and sweaty palms

She tricks your heart into thinking that it's cold

Then the rain comes back, like it always does

💙

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed days, dark sacred nights

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Soft blue skies

Helium balloons float up away

Broad daylight

But we're sunflowers in the rain
