Nick Spalding is an author who, try as he might, can't seem to write anything serious. Before becoming a full-time author, he worked in the communications industry, mainly in media and marketing. As talking rubbish for a living can get tiresome (for anyone other than a politician), he thought he'd have a crack at writing comedy fiction - with a very agreeable level of success so far, it has to be said. Nick is now a multimillion seller. This flabbergasts him every single day. Nick lives in Hampshire with his lovely (and extremely patient) wife. He's now in his late forties - and is rather annoyed at the universe about it, because it gave him no choice in the matter. He's also addicted to Thai food and roast potatoes (not together), still thinks Batman is just about the coolest thing on Earth, and has a dreadful singing voice. *** Find out more about Nick and his books at www.nickspalding.com
