About the Author

Fifteen-year-old Nathan isn’t much different from Nathan today.

Replace the pimples with wrinkles, the frail stature with a few extra pounds, and the fear of girls with an adoring wife, and you pretty much have the same guy:

A nerd who loves to escape the humdrum of life for adventure, a sense of wonder, and a hint of romance.

He began taking his writing seriously in 2012 to provide young men with an opportunity to transport themselves to exotic worlds full of excitement in order to get a much-needed break from the routines of school, part-time jobs, and navigating life as a twenty-first-century teen.

With a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas in Austin, Nathan now teaches a sophomore course in digital circuits, assembly language programming, and fundamentals of computer architecture at UT Dallas. 

In his “spare” time, he enjoys hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and solving crossword puzzles with wife Faye Lynn.
