James David Nicol was born and grew up in the North-East of Scotland. On leaving school, he lived in London for fourteen years, working in a bank by day, and playing in bands on nights and weekends. He spent a couple of years in Hong Kong and Australia , before moving to the USA, where he still lives.
A relative newcomer to writing, Nicol contributed short stories to two anthologies; Twisted History, in which a journalist interviews a still very much alive Elvis in 1995. In Twisted Nightmares, Nicol's piece concerns a young doctor who seduces the young wife of a ninety year-old billionaire, with unexpected consequences.
Mac and June: Love In The Time Of Oil is the author's debut novel, and the first of a trilogy.
Mac and June: Never A Dull Moment was published on March 26th, 2015. It is the second of the "Seatown" trilogy.
