Nina Soden

Nina has always been creative, be it art, theatre, film - anything but singing - you don't want to hear that! She earned her bachelor's degree in Theatre and Military Science from Eastern Michigan University where she spent most of her time either on stage, rappelling down buildings, or working one of three jobs. After college, she moved to Los Angeles, like so many other actors, in pursuit of her dreams.

She started writing short stories in 2008. Since then, her dreams have gotten bigger and her storytelling ability has gotten better. Her first novel Awaken (the Blood Angel Series) was published in 2012. Since then, she has completed the Blood Angel Series with Beginnings, Revenge, and Pursuit and published the SECTOR C trilogy (The Chosen, The Hunted, and The Bridge).

Nina often volunteers her time to work with teen writing groups and has written a series of books designed to help authors of all ages find their way through the writing process. Check out JUST WRITE, SO YOU WANT TO WRITE A BOOK, #WRITINGPROMPTS, and The Invisible You.

She has done everything from secretarial work to business development to being the Director of a private preschool. She has fired an M16 machine gun, jumped out of a C130 aircraft, and given birth - TWICE - but she always returns to the arts.

Though she'll forever be a Michigan girl at heart, she now lives in the south with her husband and two beautiful children. If she's not working on her latest story, you can find her playing with her kids, lounging with a good book, or indulging in her unhealthy addiction to Starbucks coffee.
