Jack Nesbitt was born in Newcastle in 1955. The son of a miner, he spent his early childhood in the north-east before moving to South Yorkshire, where he now lives. He is divorced, with two adult children, and spent his early life working in Engineering, as a welding contractor, both in England and in Belgium, before qualifying as a part-time teacher trainer in 1990. He enjoys writing fiction novels - the adult romantic/thriller: A Rose for St Amelia was published in paperback in 2015 - and he has now self-published, in 2016, the first in a series of Detective Inspector Charlotte Hope crime thrillers, based in his home town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

Hi, and thanks for logging on to my website, where hopefully you'll get a better idea of who I am and what I enjoy writing. At present, I'm halfway through writing the second in the series of D.I. Charlotte Hope crime thrillers: IN MY TIME OF DYING, which I'm hoping to publish in late summer 2016 on Amazon Kindle books. The first in the series: ONLY WHEN I DIE was published in May this year and is also currently available on Kindle.
