ND Scott hails from the North East of England, is in his 40's,
married with a grown up daughter. For over 21 years he worked as a commission officer within the
British Military,
serving all over the world including a number of operational tours.
Moves with Spirits is his first novel, prior to this he has written a travel guide to remote Peru.
The concept for this book dates back to the early 1980’s when Nic was on a
Restraint and Arrest course in England. Having spare time on his hands during
the evening, Nic formed the concept that what was to become the character Simon Boeck, and a
hero was born. After the initial few chapters work commitments took control, resulting
in
the story gathering dust on a floppy disc.
Years later (2003), whilst serving in Australia, Nic rediscovered the disk and again with a little spare time, set about completing the first draft. Some nine months later the first version was complete. Determined to maintain authenticity he employed a number of subject matter experts, (including an SAS Captain, a Professional Psychic, a Senior Newcastle Police Officer and a Combat Medical Doctor, amongst others) to ensure the facts were accurate. Like most writers Nic has endeavoured to stick to what he knows best. This has resulted in a book which will captivate, educate and keep the reader desperate to read more.
Nic has now retired from the military, lives in Durham City and spends his time between writing (book two in the Simon Boeck chronicles 'Pyramid Wars' is well on the way, with mind maps for a further three in the Boeck series) as well as periodically being employed as a freelance, covert hotel assessor (most notably 4 and 5* hotels (and All Inclusive resorts) around the world).
