Award winning author L.A. Nolan was born in Toronto, making him the first Canadian born member of his family, whose roots are set firmly in Liverpool, England. Throughout his life, Nolan’s restlessness encouraged relentless travel to many countries, and in 2012, he finally settled in India.

He took to exploring the country on motorcycle and began writing and blogging about his many experiences. Then, after breaking several bones on a desolate mountainside in the Himalayas and riding back from Nepal to New Delhi injured and unattended, Nolan focused solely on his true passion of storytelling.

In October of 2021, Nolan released his debut crime thriller fiction novel, Blood & Brown Sugar, which won him the coveted Emerging Author of the Year – 2022 from Ukiyoto Publishing and voted Best Fiction 2022 by Literary Voice Magazine.

Nolan lives in Bombay with his wife, a sarcastic beagle named Sweeney Todd, and two very naughty motorcycles, Wilhelmina and Elvira.
