Nick comes to writing through a visual lens, spending most of his career directing short films & commercials in Australia.
Romantic thriller ‘Pack Only What You Need’ is his second fiction title for adult readers, the first being a comedy romance ‘Any Girl Who Loves The Beatles Is Bound To Break Your Heart’, published in 2017.
In addition, he regularly writes novels and screenplays for the children & family market. He has written three books for middle-grade readers, a wish-fulfillment fantasy ‘The Magician’s Raincoat’ and the first two books in a series titled ‘Zodee Ack, My Imaginary Foe’, with a fourth due in late 2020.
He has collaborated on a Christmas adventure script called ‘AKA Nick Claus’ with screenwriter Diane Drake ('What Women Want', ‘Only You’), and is currently working on screenplays for several new family films to be released in 2020.
He's particularly proud to have received an Australian Director's Guild award for directing commercials, and he is in pre-production on several feature film projects. His recently completed short feature ‘And Though The Music Ended, We Danced On Through The Night’, premiered at the Napa Valley Film Festival and collected accolades at over a dozen international festivals.
