Nicholas Harvey’s life has been anything but ordinary. Race car driver, mountaineer, divemaster, and since 2019 a full-time novelist. Raised in England, Nick now lives next to the ocean in Key Largo with his amazing wife, Cheryl. Motorsports may have taken him all over the world, both behind the wheel and later as a Race Engineer and Team Manager, but diving inspires his destinations these days – and there’s no better diving than in Grand Cayman where Nick’s AJ Bailey Adventure and Nora Sommer Caribbean Suspense series are based. Drawing from his own thirst for adventure, experience underwater, and a lifetime of storytelling, Nick's novels put you right in the middle of the action. Feel the ocean breeze brushing your face, the warm water washing over your feet, and the villains chasing you across the tropical island!
