Mr. Nicholas John Forster

Palma non sine pulvere, no reward without effort. So it goes, so it goes. He started writing novels as a means to retire from the gruelling labour of homebuilding, but writing became a means to enable serenity and clarity. Now, he writes in the morning and evening, bookending a day of carpentry and toil. A former tree planter, reporter, student of biology and environmental science, Nick abides in Ottawa, Canada with his wife Alison and feline companions, Whiskey and Smokey.
