About the Author

Until November 2013, Nic lived and worked in Mindanao and had done so since 2009. He shifted to the Philippines in 2006 from Vietnam with his family, and he worked in international agricultural development assistance projects in both countries for the past 10 years. Nic now works for an aid project based out of Fiji.

He grew up as a young boy into a teenager on Thursday Island in the Torres Straits of North Queensland. The sea and the islands have always been a part of his life, filled with days of swimming, spear fishing, ship-wreck fossicking , digging up old settlements and an over-active imagination and curiosity. He joined the Royal Australian Navy for junior officer training, and left  after six years of interesting training and wonderful experiences.

Nic embarked on his professional agricultural training and graduated in 1982 from Sydney University. Since then he has gained several degrees and certificates and worked in more than six countries. It was in Papua New Guinea in 1986 that Nic met and married his wife Emy, who hails from Samar Province in Philippines. They have a wonderful house and family in Calbayog City.

Black Hearts, Gold Warriors is his second novel and it tells the tale of the hunter and the hunted  across the exotic and dangerous landscapes of Mindanao and Vietnam, from the close of WW2 to the start of the new millennium. It is action adventure spiced with historical fiction and romance, with wonderful and heady  scents and sounds of life in the colourful and vibrant world of SE Asia. Nic’s first book called Gold of the Generals, will be re-released in March 2014 and it also is a wonderful story of the hunt for treasures in Fort Santiago and Papua New Guinea.
