Nigel Kerner is an author, screen writer and journalist. He was born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) where his father served as an officer in the Royal Naval Fleet Air Arm during the last war. His paternal family line can be traced back to the German philosopher and poet Justinus Kerner. His mother is of expatriate British planting stock. His formal graduate education is in biomedical science and human behavioural psychology.
Nigel Kerner's international family base provided a background for an obsessive and serious interest in international human affairs and in science and its interface with religion and philosophy in the contemporary world. He has felt driven, from his young years, to expose the humbug and hypocrisy in modern scientific and religious and social thinking. A fascination with the puzzling and enigmatic phenomenon of UFOs resulted in his first book THE SONG OF THE GREYS published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1997. A serious work on the subject now noted world wide for its radical view on the phenomenon. Much to the author's chagrin, many who have read the book consider him to be one of the world's foremost ufologists.
Nigel Kerner lives with his wife and family on his estate in middle England. He has a passionate interest in projects on behalf of the poor of developing nations. He is at present working with his family and a team of European friends and volunteers on a medical and agro-development project done on behalf of the rural poor in a country in the Far East.
His hobbies include reading science literature and journals, wild-life videography, wildlife conservation activities, singing and song writing. His singular sporting passion is cricket and he has for many years been following the England cricket team all over the world in the hope of being there when they win a match. At the time of writing he is a happier man in this respect.
