Nicole Castellanos is a storyteller drawn to the edge of the unknown — where science, myth, and human emotion collide. With a background in linguistics and a lifelong fascination with cryptic communication, her work explores how language and memory shape identity. The Obsidian Signal is her debut novel, blending psychological depth with cinematic tension. When she isn’t writing, Nicole can be found exploring coastlines, decoding vintage shortwave broadcasts, or sketching story ideas in storm-weathered notebooks.
