Nicholas Litchfield is a British-born author, editor, and journalist living in Western New York.[1][2] He is the founder of the Lowestoft Chronicle, a quarterly online magazine, based in Boston, Massachusetts. The magazine's name is inspired by the English coastal town of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England, which he frequented on weekends.[3] His motivation for starting the publication in 2009 was the historic lack of notable writers and periodicals from that region, making it the first literary magazine for the UK's most easterly point.[4]
Litchfield is a longtime book critic for various British and American periodicals[5][6][7] and has contributed to more than twenty volumes of classic noir and mystery novels from the 1940s, '50s, and '60s[8] His debut novel, Swampjack Virus, published in 2013, pays homage to his homeland and the classic thriller-adventure spy novels of the 1950s and '60s.[9] His second novel, When The Actor Inspired Chaos and Bloodshed, released in 2025, is an international thriller that takes place in Uruguay during the 1990s. The Star has described it as "a suspense-filled and yet humorous look at the stressful demands of film-making through the lens of fame-hungry artistes, zealous directors, and everyone caught in the crossfire."[10]
