When Nathaniel Luscombe isn’t writing about spaceships and far off planets, he's reading an unhealthy amount of books and recharging for his next project. He grew up in Ontario, between flat fields and square patches of forest, and has been a writer for as long as he’s been a reader. Outside of his full-time job, he runs Dragon Bone Publishing with Effie Joe Stock. He is best known for Moon Soul and Human Scars on Planet Skin. He has also published some poetry collections, and has been featured in several anthologies.

Combined with Rick Riordan, Kenneth Oppel, and Michael Crichton, I began to pull specific things out of their writing that I wanted to have. I wanted Paolini's character dynamics, Riordan's humour, Oppel's thrilling plots and cool concepts, and Crichton's pacing and style. I do not think I have successfully acquired this yet, but I think I am well on my way to becoming the author that I want to be.(less)
