Hello, good evening, and welcome to nick-marsh.co.uk.  Come in, shut the door, and remember – no diving in the shallow end.

This is the website of Nick Marsh – full-time veterinary surgeon, part-time author and self-confessed geek (well, okay, he’s had to confess it due to the number of people who have told him that he is one)

Nick's first novel, Soul Purpose, is published by Immanion Press, soon to be followed by the sequel, Past Tense.  Best described as James Herriot meets the X-files by way of Douglas Adams, Soul Purpose has, to Nick’s delight, been receiving some excellent reviews.  To learn more about the book, read the first few chapters, check out the reviews, or stop dithering and order it, click on the link above.

Feel free to have a look around, read Nick’s fun-filled biography, have a look at some of Nick’s musings, look at some of his favourite links, or just have a snoop around. If you want to contact Nick with any suggestions/feedback/questions/advice/abuse/recipes/Government secrets, the contact email is below.

I've been helping write the synopses for a special DVD from the fine folks over at www.yog-sothoth.com, and it's now available!

The DVD (Lovecraftian Tales from the Table) is an audio recording of  the classic campaigns Masks of Nyarlathotep and Horror on the Orient Express for Chaosium's veteran roleplaying game Call of Cthluhu, based on the works of HP Lovecraft. It's also packed full with extras - interviews,  Lovecraft's stories, photographs, cartoons (and my synopses of course!)

If this at all tweaks at your interest sensor, then go here! to find out what the hell I'm talking about  (and if not, go there anyway!)

And remember - Cthulhu f'taghn!
