Autorenporträt
Nik Edge has produced novels that combine elements of suspense, politics, and comedy. Their subject matter is sometimes futuristic, although primarily historical. His books have touched on Pontiac's Rebellion of 1763 and the Vietnam War. In the recent past he has focused most of his attention on the decade of the 1970s, primarily focusing on Los Angeles, where he grew up. A previous book- A Natural Light Show-began his exploration of the period. As the son of a poet/performance artist and a painter/sculptor, he was exposed to a number of eccentric characters, who have contributed to his vision. He is always seeking to meld comedy with suspense, without taking away from narrative drama. He expects to write more novels set in the 1970s.
