Je suis un auteur anglais avec un amour de la France. Que puis-je dire? S'il vous plaît voir mon site web à l'adresse: www.jonathannicholas.org.uk

Jonathan Nicholas was born in Norfolk, England and grew up in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. At the age of eighteen he left the UK and travelled the world with nothing more than a back pack, a sketchpad, and a diary, returning to the UK several years later, much thinner but with a stack of completed diaries. He then spent the next thirty years working as a police officer in a UK police force, almost always in uniform and on the 'front line' in some very challenging areas of inner-city England. An avid diary writer, in 2011 he turned his attentions to professional writing, and for a while he wrote a regular column in the UK police magazine 'Police Review'. His first book, 'Hospital Beat' describes in detail his ten years spent policing a busy inner-city hospital. Jonathan was commended several times during his police career including being awarded Community Police Officer of the Year in 2007. His second book,'Kibbutz Virgin' is now widely acknowledged to be one of the best books yet written about the Israeli kibbutz volunteer experience.

His book 'Oz - A Hitchhiker's Australian Anthology' soon to be released, details a very unusual twelve months spent hitchhiking around Australia. He is also working on a book about his wider police career, called 'Who'd be a Copper?' to be released later in 2014.

Please see the website for further details and to read excerpts from all Jonathan's books.

Jonathan has had a lifelong interest in aviation and holds both a glider pilot's licence and a private pilot's licence. He is now a full-time author and currently lives in Nottingham, England. He is married with two children.
