ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Nicholas Anderson has always been captivated by the magic of epic fantasy. Growing up, he found inspiration in stories like The Lord of the Rings, immersing himself in Tolkien’s intricate worlds of heroes, battles, and unyielding courage. This passion ignited a lifelong dream to create his own rich and immersive universe, which has come to life in the Divinia series. As a graphic design major, Nicholas brings a unique visual perspective to his writing, crafting vivid landscapes and dynamic characters. His debut novel, Divinia: Alyc of Emberfall, is the first step in an epic saga that challenges traditional fantasy tropes while embracing timeless themes of resilience, legacy, and sacrifice. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love The Lord of the Rings. Growing up, I didn't have the best world of my own, I would often escape into Tolkien’s world, finding comfort and inspiration in his storytelling and incredible world-building. I’ve always dreamed of creating a world of my own, and would like to announce I’ve written a book! About a year ago, I took a class in school that helped me organize my ideas and bring the story in my mind to life. The result is a book I’m incredibly proud of. If you’re a fan of the fantasy genre, I hope you’ll check it out it’s a labor of love inspired by the worlds that first captured my imagination.

When and why did you start writing books?

I've always had a passion for writing, but it wasn't until the last few years I was really able to get my ideas flushed out on paper.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

Tolkien is the easy answer. His world helped me get through many struggles I faced during my childhood.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Since I've only written the one book so far, I'll go with character. Obviously Alyc holds a special place in my heart, but when writing The Seer has been my favorite to write.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

I've outlined books 2 and 3 in the series and it looks like book 2 will be the biggest undertaking of the 3.

Who is your favourite author and book?

Tolkien is my favorite and it's not close. My favorite book of his is Fellowship, but Beren and Luthien is my favorite story.

What book are you reading right now?

Just finished the Poppy war trilogy, which was amazing.

Where do you get your inspiration for your books?

The world around me, from people I've worked with to books I've read, everything can be inspiration.

Play with my dog and hang out with my wife.

Yes book 2 in the Divinia trilogy, I'm excited for people to see where I take this story.
