Nick Cook

Nick was born in London and grew up in a family where art was always a huge influence. Nick eventually finished college with a Fine Art Degree tucked into his back pocket. Faced with the prospect of actually trying to make a living from his talents, he plunged into the emerging video game industry back in the 80s as a graphic artist. It was the start of a long career and as the industry exploded into the one we know today, Nick’s career went supernova. He set up two studios, and has around forty published titles to his name.

But as successful as this career was, a little voice kept nagging inside Nick’s head, and at the end of 2006 he was finally ready to pursue his other passion as a full-time career: sci-fi writing. Many years later, he completed his first trilogy, Cloud Riders. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Nick has many interests, from space exploration and astronomy to travelling the world. His sci-fi writing in many ways reflects his curiosity about the world around him. He loves to let his imagination run riot to pose the question: What if.
