Nick Evans is a Poole-based author who has a background in technical writing. Some years ago he wrote two books in a scifi series for children, entitled "Xalata Orbit and Melody Fret". He's also been working on a third one to complete the trilogy. However, his time in the past couple of years has been taken in writing his memoir, "A Glass Darkly", which explores the early death of his parents and the impact it had on him. Despite the subject matter, it's a heartwarming read which has been warmly welcomed.

During his extensive career in sales and marketing, he has also had a sideline as a freelance journalist, writing for The Guardian, The Times Educational Supplement and a range of magazines in education, technology and business. He has published books on the use of computers in schools and on building businesses through research.

He is now largely retired from the company - Extramile Digital - that he and his wife set up in April 2000. It's recently celebrated a landmark birthday and continues to go from strength to strength. Meanwhile, he continues writing and enjoying the wonders of the South Coast. His current project is a follow-up to "A Glass Darkly".
