Nicky's leads a carefree Caribbean No Problems lifestyle. He left behind an Army Ranger and Security for Hire past for his new passion coffee. The inspiration for Nicky Blade's adventures sprung from an imaginary person my friend and I created for him to blame indiscretions.

"Honey, I know it's two am but Nicky wouldn't leave the casino and he had the keys. Plus he borrowed five hundred dollars."

Nicky traveled with the author on golf vacations, to baseball games, drinking at bars and gulping espresso at coffee houses causing his exploits to grow.
