An aspiring screenwriter, he had studied film production at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, which in no obvious way prepared him for an accidental career in journalism.
As the entertainment editor for The Gazette, a division of the Washington Post and Companies, he honed his natural storytelling skills. During that time, Nathan interviewed such luminaries as Tim Conway, Shirley MacLaine, and Jeffs Bridges and Daniels, among countless others. He swears Eartha Kit once sang "Happy Birthday" to him, and Connie Sellecca's husband, John Tesh, once left him an effusive voicemail which he later, inadvertently - and to his everlasting regret - deleted.
While writing this first novel, Nathan became a husband, a father, and a white-knuckled casualty of the failing newspaper industry - and, ultimately, an author.
He lives with his wife, three growing children, and assorted animals in Frederick, Maryland.view less
