Nathan is an award-winning epic fantasy author based in Middleton, Idaho. It is his dream and vocation to write empowering stories that will leave readers with hope and purpose. Nathan has been fascinated with storytelling from an early age. As a child, he invented worlds and creatures, played pretend, and told stories to anyone who would listen. He completed his first "novel," an 85,000-word fanfiction, at age 13. He spent high school summers creating plotlines for role-playing games on a forum site, where many concepts for characters, creatures, and kingdoms in The Epic of Marindel were first developed. The Epic of Marindel: Chosen is his first published novel; the first of many. Nathan is a Vision Lead at the Kingdom Writers’ Association, a global resource center which serves to empower and encourage Christian writers to publish award-winning material within all genres for the purpose of reaching more people for Christ. Community is an indispensable part of every writer's journey. During his free time, Nathan enjoys hiking, exercise, traveling, and visiting coffee shops, breweries, and wineries with good friends. Nathan graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with an MS in Organizational Leadership, and a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Psychology.
