Nick Charles (author)

In 1996, Nick Charles became the first person to be honoured by the Queen 'for services to people with alcohol problems'. This was achieved in recognition of founding Britain's largest alcohol rehabilitation unit, The Chaucer Clinic. His work with alcoholics has now moved to another level with the Gainsborough Foundation backed up by an after-care facility which is creating much interest.

The BBC has recognised him by producing a documentary programme of his life and times. His writings on alcohol addiction have been used at London colleges to train doctors of the future. The "Sunday Times" featured his work in their national alcohol study. His new book due to be published shortly is entitled ‘Will I Die If I Wake?’ concerns the paranormal and is the biography of actress Lesley Roach.

He is also the author of ‘Drugs Laid Bare’, ‘A Girl called Ginger’, 'Nikki All About Secrets', 'Lifting The Top Off The Bottle' 'A Bird In A Barren Cage'(2007). 'Lesley Spirit' (current project)'East, West and No Man's Land' (a screenplay also current, 2008, inspired by the life of Saira Bronson).
