My passion for writing began with the clash of steel, with battles and acts of courage--stories read to me from King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table. Not even a mild dose of dyslexia was able to keep me from flights of imagination which would leak out as scribbled stories. I was fortunate as a child to be taken to strange and exotic places that fuelled the imagination. My twin brother and I were carted off by parents to the harsh Australian outback where rockets were tested... and then to the Malayan tropics with its exotic culture, smells and the wonders of the jungle. From there, we journeyed to England where I was parked in a very old English boarding school. A love of the sea led to all sorts of adventures in boats--often very small ones sailing in places they had no right to be. All this was fuel a-plenty for a budding writer. But I became a scientist and engaged in biological research. Again, I blame a sense of curiosity and an ability to say "wow!" Since then I have become a broadcaster, pastor, academic... and finally, a writer. I write in three different genres: 1) novels (adventure/romance, with a garnish of deep thinking); 2) biblical resources; and 3) books that explore the academic case for God. My first novel in the "Stone" collection, "The Celtic Stone" won the CALEB award for fiction in 2014. "The Bible on the Key Issues of Life" won the 2014 Selah award in America for best biblical book. It was a good year! I am married and have two adult children - fabulous, of course... and have become a grandfather, which has further turned my mind. I try and straighten it out by building furniture from Australian hardwoods--which is my hobby. Join my mailing list at my website: http://author-nick.com.
