Hello and Welcome!

My name is Nate, and I write middle-grade fantasy books for all ages. Even before I became a father myself, I knew that it was hard for parents to find age-appropriate books for their kids to read. This problem has only gotten worse as the world becomes even more desensitized and content like graphic violence and sensuality leaks into children's literature. 

My mission as an author is to create and spread literature that is age-appropriate and enjoyable, so that parents can comfortably share good books with their kids without having to pre-read. 

If you want to know more, sign up for my newsletter! I will share updates about my books, sneak peeks into future projects, and bonus content there. 

About

Nate grew up loving to read and learn, which fueled a desire to become a passionate teacher and writer. His goal as a father, teacher, and author is to instill that same love in the next generation. His first book, The Wish Box, explores a world inspired by mythology and folklore from the perspective of two brothers learning to navigate it. His second, Artificium: The Rise of Anarchy, follows Wynter, a teenager with the impossible job of protecting the world from dangerous artifacts and those that would misuse them. If you read both of those and still want more, sign up for Nate's newsletter to get updates on his work
