Born in Chicago, Illinois, Nick Medina is an enthusiast of local and Native lore. His debut novel, Sisters of the Lost Nation, features several supernatural myths and legends and earned a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Award and was a Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Horror (2023). He became interested in the problem of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls after reading an article in the Chicago Tribune about Ashley Loring Heavyrunner, who went missing from the Blackfoot reservation in 2017. He enjoys exploring the strange and unusual, haunted cemeteries, and other spooky places, playing guitar, physical fitness, and spending time with family. He is a member of the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana.

“We all reach for something… Sometimes what we long for is so out of reach that we get stuck or lost in our pursuit of it. The point is not to lose sight of what you already have because if you try too hard for things above you, you might lose sight of everything that’s important.”
Nick Medina, Sisters of the Lost Nation

“I didn’t know how hurt I was until I slumped on my bed and fought off tears that would have traced tracks down my cheeks like scars that would evaporate, robbing me of evidence that would show the world my pain.”
Nick Medina, Indian Burial Ground

“What am I supposed to do? Listen, Anna, we all try to get noticed. All the time. Everywhere. That’s lige. Especially for people like us. If the others, don’t notice us, we disappear.”
Nick Medina, Sisters of the Lost Nation
