A Taste of Destiny: Nicole d’Altena’s New Children’s Book Blends Imagination and Adventure

Nicole d’Altena has just announced the release of her new book, A Taste of Destiny – Children’s Short Stories, a creative collection of tales designed to captivate readers of all ages. This latest work is an extended version of her original release, featuring one expanded story, and offers a unique reading experience with no formula to follow.

The 170-page book is a blend of memories and fiction, with a world of invented names, characters, places, and events. Nicole’s stories invite readers to see the world in a new way, full of colour, words, and expressions. It’s described as a book ideal for travel, holiday reading, or simply unwinding at home—whether on a sunny or rainy day. Each story has its own twist, some veering towards the weird, while others enchant and intrigue.

A Unique Approach to Storytelling

Nicole’s distinct style shines through with her playful use of language. With her background in English, French, and Italian, she introduces made-up words and sounds that add to the charm of her writing. The stories offer easy reading for some and deep meaning for others, with no clear beginning or end—leaving it up to the reader to engage in the adventures however they choose.

Available to Purchase Now

A Taste of Destiny* is available for purchase through both Ebay and the Destinity website, offering an accessible way for readers to dive into Nicole’s world of stories.

Nicole, originally born in America, has lived in Cornwall for over 40 years. Before settling in the scenic county, she spent much of her life travelling the world, with notable years on an Italian island. Now retired in Cornwall, she continues to share her imaginative creations through her writing.
