MWG Writes on Q March 2015 Featured Author Nicholas Boving By: Samna Ghani Regional Editor, Health Management.org; Author with Books to Go Now and Laurus Publishing. Nicholas Boving has worked as a mining engineer, as a docker, fruit inspector and forester. His diversity is evident in his books and screenplays. Nicholas is the author and publisher of the Maxim Gunn series of action/adventure books. He has written fifteen other novels: drama, thriller and action/adventure and several screenplays. In an exclusive interview, Nicholas Boving sheds some light on what he writes, why he writes and his writing process. Enjoy! Why do you write? Why do I write? Good question. I just can’t think of anything quite as satisfying even if I never make a dime out of it. Because it’s what I love to do. This is the best reason. Also, living in a fantasy world is rather fun, not to mention playing God. However, to quote Dr. Samuel Johnson. “Sir, no man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money”. Which may seem to contradict the comment above, but let’s face it, not a lot of writers are prepared to invest such a great deal of effort and time on something just for the fun of it.
