Nick Arnold, has been writing books and stories since he was a lad. Even in those days his favourite subjects for stories were horrible goings-on… the more gruesome the better! So you see, he hasn't changed a bit!
Nick's first published books appeared when he was working at the University of North London on a project teaching children about nature. This led to a magazine article and then, one day, Nick had a brilliant idea. He said to himself:
"If I can write newspaper articles, then I can write books for other publishers too!"
So he boldly wrote off with his ideas to many of the leading publishers in the UK and some of them asked him to write books. Since then Nick has lost count of the number of books he's written (that's 'cos he can't count very far!). In 1996, he teamed up with Scholastic and began writing the incredibly popular Horrible Science series.
