Favourite quote: ‘My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the road warrior, the man we called Max… And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again’ -Mad Max
Owing to an ancient Mayan prophecy, people have been trying to kill N.W. Twyford for many years before he was born. So far no one has succeeded. Nick (as he’d like you to call him) grew up in Crowthorne, a town famous for Broadmoor Hospital, home to many of the country’s most notorious disturbed souls.

He now works in the BBC’s Repeats Unit, which isn’t as repetitive as he thought it would be, and writes stories when he can, which is quite a lot of the time.
