Nicolas EnsignNicolas Ensign was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in July of 1996. Growing up in small towns across the Midwest, his creativity was first sparked by the macabre stories written by Stephen King, then graduating to authors like Dan Simmons, Ian M. Banks,and Bethesda Studios. Inspired by these influences, many first chapters were started across many spiral notepads - none of them any good.Following his Graduation in 2014, Nicolas continued his family's legacy and enlisted into the United States Navy as a Fire Controlman onboard the USS Princeton. During his two deployments, he discovered a creative outlet for his imagination through short stories written for his fellow combat watchstanders.

Today, Nicolas resides in Eugene, Oregon, with his beloved wife, Skylar, and their trio of dogs and a bustling flock of chickens. Read More Read Less
