Nigel Blackwell was born in rural Oxfordshire in England. He has a love of books, a PhD in Physical Chemistry, and a black belt in pointing out the obvious. As a teenager he toured Europe, and hasn't stopped traveling since.

He now lives in Texas with his wife and daughter, where they enjoy the sunshine and listen to the coyotes howl at night.
