Nicky leads a carefree Caribbean No Problems lifestyle. He left behind his Army Ranger and Security for Hire past for a 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 o'clock in the morning but Nicky drove to the casino and wouldn't leave. Plus, he borrowed five hundred dollars."

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