This Month: Nicholas Rhea

Nicholas Rhea was born in the Yorkshire village of Glaisdale in 1936. The son of a teacher and an insurance agent, he won a scholarship to Whitby Grammar School, leaving at 16 to become a police cadet. He joined the North Yorkshire force as a beat bobby in 1956, later becoming a village bobby in 1964. He retired in 1982 to concentrate on his writing - the Constable novels forming the basis of the popular TV series, Heartbeat.

On writing:
"I find it easy enough to just sit down with a blank page and get on with it. I work office hours, because this is my business. My wife works as my PA, looking after all the phone calls and accounts, and so on, which leaves me free to write."
