Anna Nicholas

Anna Nicholas is the most prolific British author and journalist writing about Mallorca today. She has lived in Soller in the northwest of the island for 23 years with her husband and son and an ever-growing menagerie.

Following the publication of a successful Mallorca-based travel series with Summersdale (Hachette UK), she has ventured into crime fiction with a series featuring Isabel Flores, an unorthodox and charismatic Mallorcan sleuth, and her pet ferret, Furó. The first, The Devil’s Horn, was published in 2019 and translated into German by Diogenes Verlag in 2025. She is currently writing the fifth, White Hot Moon.

Anna is the Mallorca and Menorca destination writer for Telegraph UK and has written for numerous other leading publications including FT How to Spend It, The Times, Independent, Ultra Travel USA, Wanderlust and Tatler.

She graduated in English Literature and Classics from Leeds University and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, having participated in many humanitarian expeditions with veteran explorer, Colonel John Blashford-Snell. Her Summersdale memoir, Strictly Off the Record (2010), recounts her global adventures as an adjudicator at the Guinness Book of Records with founder, Norris McWhirter.
