AUTHOR'S COMMENTS
I had been writing plays for nearly ten years before I started work on my first novel, Nimbus.
However, right from the start, I knew I wanted to write about something new, something that hadn't been regurgitated many times before.
The Inspiration came, once day, in the form of a news article. And, armed with a few basic facts, I began research that led me into lengthy interviews with members of the UK Environment Agency and Met office.
So, what separates Nimbus from others of its genre? The truth; Nimbus is based on fact.
This novel starts out as a piece of fiction and turns into a dossier of human evil and government conspiracies at the highest level. The intrigue lies not only in the writing but also in the reader's mind as they ask themselves which parts are fact and which are fiction?
