Nick Broadhurst is an Australian.
He began writing his books in 1989 with pen and paper. Then he typed the stories on a computer which was booted by a 5 1/2″ disc.
His first stories were handwritten, in Australia, until he could afford an Amstrad computer. In those early days each 5 1/2″ floppy disk could store about twenty pages of text data. No more.
Nick went to Japan in 1992 and continued building the stories, year after year, until self-publishing came about decades later. The internet became his launching pad.
Nick has lived and worked in Australia, Japan, USA and worked and traveled in dozens of countries around the world.
Nick wrote the Sequetus Series as a passion, starting in earnest while managing a construction project in Australia, in 1989. He wondered why there was war, hate, conflict, people being slaughtered, and did UFO’s exist? And what about the dozen theories of our planetary history that seemed to be getting tromped on. He could see a pattern. So decided in 1989 to start writing a fictional account of what he had read, and that was how it started, in 1989.
Nick moved to Japan in 1992 where he wrote books 9 – 14. Books 15 – 23 were written more recently in Western Australia.
After the Sequetus Series, Nick wrote the Captain Kuro From Mars series of twelve children’s picture books. That branched out into comic strips too. The artist who illustrated the picture books decided to turn those into a comic magazine. Mostly Captain Kuro was written and produced in around 2015 – 19 while Nick was in Australia and Nepal. In 2019 Nick began the expansion of the Sequetus Series, known as the Sequetus Sequel.
A lot of what Nick writes about he draws upon first-hand. He has never stopped wondering.
Nick recalls his first major life-adventure was to climb a string of mountains in Papua New Guinea in 1970. That was before university, where he completed a Bachelor Degree of Architecture. Since then, he worked in many countries, two of them in civil war.
During semester breaks at university Nick worked in the Australian outback. There he had time at night to read, and developed a taste for science fiction books. In all his travels, his fiction books always went with him either reading or writing.
The book reading got to a point in 1989 where the best of the classics were all read. The only thing Nick thought left to do, was write.
He started with the story Advance on Sequetus 3, solidly setting the stage for what was to come. The books built upon each other, to a spiritual science fiction zenith in the Earth Syndrome Miniseries.
