Nicholas Chiarkas
Nick Chiarkas is the historical thriller award-winning author of WEEPERS and NUNZIO’S WAY. He grew up in the projects on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In fourth grade, the principal of PS#1 told his mother, “Nick would not complete high school, so steer him toward a simple vocation.” Instead, Nick became a writer, with a few stops along the way: U.S. Army Paratrooper, NYPD Police Officer, Chief Counsel for the President’s Commission on Organized Crime, and the Wisconsin State Public Defender. He earned a doctorate from Columbia, a law degree from Temple, and was a Pickett Fellow at Harvard. How many mothers are told their children are hopeless? How many kids with potential surrender to despair? Nick wrote WEEPERS and NUNZIO’S WAY for them.
