Though born is Scotland, Nicholson Burke spent his teenage years at school in what was Rhodesia. He went into education and worked as a teacher, sports coach and Headmaster through his adult life, both in what became Zimbabwe and the U.K.. Called up during the Rhodesian Bush War provided him with material that he used for his first novel The Silence of the Dying which he published in 2021.
