N.A. Woltzen

N. A. Woltzen is an author from the Pacific Northwest. He chose to use his initials because of a lifelong belief that being mysterious and using one’s initials is the key to a successful fiction-writing career. Whether this proves wise remains to be seen.

His debut novel, The Dustmage, was inspired by his lifelong love of storytelling, drawing on folklore, magic, history, power struggles, addiction, and familial discord, all woven together to make the city of Theed feel vivid, well-lived, and tethered to our world.

When he’s not writing, Nick spends his time daydreaming, wading in the local lake when the weather permits, tumbling down rabbit holes of local mysteries and treasure hunts while chasing his children, and contemplating reheating his perpetually lukewarm coffee.
