Nick Richards is the pen name of Shane and Mark Healy. They aren't brothers or related in any way. They are quite good friends, most of the time. They thought their pen name made them sound "Englishy" and more "sophisticated". Worldly, even. They are Irish ,however, even though they were both born to Irish parents in different parts of England. It's a bit like Cary Grant changing his name from Archibald Leach to sound more American. A bit.

Shane couldn't find a picture of the duo together so stuck up a nice picture of himself instead. He is rather pleased with the photograph believing the lighting was "just right" that day. In any event he considers himself the better looking of the team.

I would think collaborating on a novel would have its pros&cons, what has been the biggest obstacle and grandest “A-HA” moment you have experienced as a literary duo?

The pros have definitely been making each other laugh! We share the same sense of humour so that has made it a lot of fun! The biggest obstacle as we have gotten older is probably time. There just isn't enough of it! The grandest AHA moment?! On a side note I actually finally got to see AHA the band last year!! Those guys are holding up pretty well I must say! I think maybe the biggest AHA moment as you put it was going from being linear date wise to chopping around with the time periods. Made it a lot more interesting. By the way the feedback we got from Goodread's readers to tone down the toilet humour was very helpful!(less)

It's so cringe inducing when you think back about being a teenager and how dramatic everything in your life seemed to be. Cant resist making fun of teenagers! Having said that I will soon have teenagers myself so I'm bracing for impact.
So glad you like the book!(less)

My relationship with Jessica Alba

So there I was minding my own business when a re-run of Sin City came on for the umpteenth time. And as we all know one of the First Laws of Television is that there are certain shows that you are compelled to watch over and over. They know this- the dudes in charge of your TV. They know you have to sit through Raiders of the Lost Ark for the bit where Indianna kills the baddie nonchal
