Nathan Crowder

Born and raised in the American Southwest, to an existentialist librarian and a teacher/child-care specialist, Nathan was pretty much doomed from the start. Drawn to working class heroes, lurid ghost stories, urban planning, UFOs, architecture, history, and the underdog, he found writing as a way to entertain these interests.

Due largely to his love of movies, his first serious writing was screenplays, of which he's written five over the past several years. He has also written over a dozen novels, including several super-hero within his Cobalt City world. His short fiction has appeared in such places as Thuglit.com, Byzarium, Crossed Genres, Absent Willow Review, WilyWriters.com, and the anthologies Close Encounters of the Urban Kind, Rigor Amortis, Cthulhurotica, Cobalt City Christmas, and Cobalt City Timeslip.

Nathan currently lives in the Bohemian wilds of north Seattle, where micro-brew beer flows like water and everyone wears ironic t-shirts and mustaches--even the women. He lives alone with his cat, Shiva, who is currently managing his career in exchange for fresh kibble.
