About Nick Green

‘About the author’ pages are odd, really. They’re interesting if the author is Lawrence of Arabia or a hyper-evolved stegosaurus, but that fact is that most writers are rather dull. That’s why they have to make up stuff all the time. You have been warned.

Full name: Nick Alan Green. Parents and elder relatives still call me Nicholas.

Cats' names: Smokey and Jasper, though in the house the ghost of the late Red still lingers and knocks things off shelves.

Kids: One so far.

Previous jobs: Washer-upper, tiger groom, oboeist for hire.

Most interesting hobby: Fencing. (As in duelling with swords, not putting up fences.)

Also into: Horse riding, falling off, horse racing (to watch only), science & space, strange music from bygone ages, 24, Doctor Who, Porcupine Tree (a band), the oboe, and the occasional good night's sleep.

Place of residence: I flit between an inconspicuous backstreet in Hertfordshire, a safehouse somewhere in the North of England, and a mansion located at the tip of the Bermuda Triangle.

Favourite film: The Lord of the Rings trilogy. (Trivia fact: one of my friends was an orc extra. I’m told you can see him just after Grond smashes the gate of Minas Tirith).

Favourite reading: Find out about it HERE.

Shameless name-dropping: I was at school with Matt Lucas of Little Britain fame. But I try not to mention it more than three times in any conversation.

And GO HERE for my entry on the Internet Movie Database! The actor credit is actually real and no lie...
