About the author
Lyle Nicholson
31 books58 followersLyle Nicholson was born in British Columbia Canada. His is the youngest of three sons born to a father who was a cook and mother who was a waitress.
His father, who died when Lyle was 15, was a story teller, something that Lyle adopted at an early age. His life would lead him to travels in Europe, then 5 years in a Monastery. He found he was not a good Monk, as poverty was easy - it was the chastity and obedience that was a stumbling block.
He left the Monastery in 1979, and met and married his wife in 1982. He would spend a few years working for companies, getting fired, starting business's that failed, until he finally started a sales agency that was a success. Lyle retired in 2011.
Retirement didn't work well for Lyle. His mind wanted to explore the regions he's experienced in both meditations and his extensive travels. This has resulted in the publication of one Novella, two Novels, and several free lance articles for magazines in Canada.
Lyle now resides in a small city in Western Canada where he continues to write his thrillers and mysteries with a twist.

A very entertaining book filled with wild stories, mayhem and lots of humour. Lyle Nicholson had a very, very interesting life and a very busy one. When he writes his novels he writes from experience and more, I think his formative years helped to hone his writing skills. It's a book you can't put down as you are dying to know what will happen in the next chapter of his life, he certainly met enough interesting people along the way to be able to fill his novels.
If there was a 4.5 rating it would have got that just for keeping me entertained, horror struck and have feelings of compassion.
