Nick wanted to be that mystical figure, an author, from almost the very first book he read. As a child his mind constantly buzzed with characters and adventures, fed by an insatiable appetite for stories.

Unfortunately, a childhood tramping the wilds of Dartmoor, the joys of playing jazz trombone, and generally having a blast, left little time for serious writing as he grew up. Later, an education in science, the rewards of running a successful youth club, and the demands of holding down a career again pushed writing to one side.

Then he hit forty and realised his imagination had never grown up. Finally, with a second-hand laptop, off e-bay, a fascination with astronomy, and a character named Mervyn Bright lodged firmly in his mind, Nick embarked on the adventure that is writing a novel.

Nick has migrated north since his childhood, swapping the wilds of Dartmoor for the tranquillity of the New Forrest. He is enjoying the adventure of marriage and now has three lively daughters, who all enjoy reading as much as he does.

In addition to writing, Nick lists his hobbies as gardening (the variety that employs a large pair of choppers and requires him to sit around admiring the view), swimming (because it frees his mind and releases his imagination), juggling (because he can), and one day he would like to learn to play the piano (because the trombone really isn’t a solo instrument).
