Nicole grew up in Upper Gullies, Newfoundland, with her five siblings and parents, John and Nancy Lundrigan....

Nearing death, an old man laments his poor choice of a wife, and has orchestrated a situation where he will see his childhood love one last time.
From these circumstances emerges Stella, a woman who grapples with her family ghosts as they reach across the generations. The Seary Line is a collage of interactions that explores the strength of a bloodline, and the often minute, but significant energies that propel a life forward.
Received Honourable Mention for the 2009 Sunburst Award
“[The Seary Line] is a character-driven tale and Lundrigan’s gift is to create memorable ones…The characters are haunting and evocative…there’s more than enough suspense to keep the story moving and the settings are great.”
– Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail
“Lundrigan plaits a rich braid of tales, as effortless to read as it is to believe…richly rendered through a crafted style that is never affected or merely ornamental…something extra permeates this novel. It is the bare consideration of memory, regret, and how a single, slipped moment can fix a life.”
– Bruce Johnson, Atlantic Books Today
“The Seary Line is steeped in her brand of Newfoundland Gothic, of characters, dilemmas and settings that are tweaked to a pitch of loneliness, defect and calamity all of their own.”
– Joan Sullivan, The Telegram
“If there is a new wave of Newfoundland fiction going on, Nicole Lundrigan may be one of its leaders…Lundrigan writes about Newfoundland the way William Faulkner wrote about the American south.”
– The Western Star
“The novel’s greatest strength, and the reason to read it, is to experience the lives of such intricately wrought characters…the detail and affection in Lundrican’s stitches create a cloth of vivid colour and lingering texture.”
– Newfoundland Quarterly Vol.101, Number 3
“I was fewer than fifty pages into the book when I realized thoughts of American novelist William Faulkner were dallying in my mind … a dandy read, sown with people and incidents as fecund as a freshly plowed field … it’s chock-a-block with double-edged imagery.”
– Harold Walters, The Advertiser
