Despite that, they are still married.</p><p>He can frequently be found lurking online on twitter as <a href=\"https://twitter.com/folds_five\" target=\"_blank\">@FoldsFive</a> or at <a href=\"http://www.davidjcourt.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">davidjcourt.co.uk</a>.</p><p><strong>Narrator: Nick Camm</strong></p><p>Nick has done almost nothing else for the past 12 months other than narrate audio-books. He has not slept, eaten, felt the gentle touch of the sun, rode a bicycle,&nbsp;broken eggs to make an&nbsp;omelette, written his film script, or bought a Mark Rothko fridge magnet. He did, however, find time to get a couple of tattoos. There's always time for tattoos.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The books he narrated were almost exclusively crime-fiction. Professionally, sci-fi still eludes him.&nbsp;He doesn't know why.</p>","author_name":"Tony C Smith"}
