N. J. Pflug writes fast-paced epic fantasy driven by tactical combat, intricate magic systems, and uncompromised consequences. His debut novel, The Price of Silence (Book 1 of the ALL SHALL KNEEL series) combines the high-stakes momentum of Red Rising and The Will of the Many with visceral, atmospheric worldbuilding.

A life long fantasy audiobook addict with a background in systems and digital design, N.J. Pflug approaches magic systems and story architecture like a complex puzzle, building immersive worlds where every choice carries weight.

When he isn't crafting stories, he can be found working in digital design, playing video games, hosting tabletop board game nights with family, or listening to his next favorite SFF audiobook.

Remember: done is better than perfect on a first draft. Don’t get bogged down in rigid rules or guidebooks. Write the story you desperately want to read, and make it uniquely yours.(less)
