It has been a three-year undertaking, in the course of which I have researched Nick's life as thoroughly as I was able, sifting through innumerable documents and speaking to everyone I'm aware of who knew him. I have worked closely with his sister and estate, but with no element of censorship.
Having finished the book, I have been asked whether I am now sick of him - and the answer is a sincere 'no'. Learning more about Nick has only increased my admiration for his talent and sorrow at his early death. I was lucky enough to have first heard his music as an early teenager, and immersing myself in his world now has only deepened my wonderment at what he left behind.
I very much hope that you will have the same response if you read the book.
