About Nick Wastnage

I’m a crime writer. I write about people involved in sinister deeds like murder, extortion and retribution.

Why do I write?

I like doing it; and believe I can tell a story in a way that will entertain people, make them want to turn the page, read to the end and feel they’ve enjoyed it. I’m not deeply philosophical, no hidden messages, but I just try to write distinctively with pace and immediacy. More

What else do I do?

I cook, listen to music, read as much as I can but not enough, try to improve a windy garden, sail a bit and try to keep fit. I live with my wife, my daughter and our cat. We enjoy good holidays and see as much as possible of our large immediate family and several close friends. I go to exhibitions and art galleries several times each year; I’m no expert, just find it uplifting. If asked what luxury I’d want if marooned on a desert island, I’d say a good espresso maker.
