I'm so excited my books are now available in Cambridge Paper Plus book store. They can now be ordered through this retail chain nationwide. BIG THANKS to owner, Hamish Wright, pictured with me next to my favourite books!
Both books are enjoying four to five star status and below is some of the positive feedback:
In the Deep End is an excellent read. With every page, I was drawn more and more into the characters, and became intrigued by the story-line that took unexpected twists and turns. Then I simply could not tear myself away from the book. I found it fascinating read. Nicky Webber is an excellent writer and as the story unveiled - it kept me riveted, all the way to the unexpected last chapter.
Long after you have put the book down, haunting images remain – such is the power and pull of Nicky’s words in No Ordinary Man. She has a sound grasp of her characters and the story-line of a war that impacted the entire world. What surprised me was the level of compassion and the resolution of this compelling story.
A powerful book. Some do it hard.I’ve always felt very fortunate to have not had to fight in a war, what a terrifying thought. Although I’ve read a bit about the war, No Ordinary Man is my first Kiwi perspective of it, a refreshingly different view very powerfully portrayed from a personal perspective. Excellent.

Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
