In addition, he has a catalogue of walking books, published by Countryside Books, as well as a library of local interest and waterways-related images. More recently, Nick has turned his hand to fiction and comment, with his first novel 'Golden Daze', published in November 2008 by Matador Books, and a monthly column in the MyNews series of magazines across West Herts, where his musings reach an audience of around 150,000 each month.
