Whitby writer, Harry Nicholson, has published his first novel. After careers as a merchant navy radio officer and in Yorkshire Television studios, Harry retired to concentrate on art, poetry and teaching meditation. Harry was born in Hartlepool where his family have fished since the 16th century and it is in that century that his novel, Tom Fleck, is based. It is an action-packed story firmly rooted in Yorkshire and the north east which follows the fortunes in war, peace and love of Tom Fleck.
