When Nathaniel Luscombe isn’t writing about spaceships and far off planets, he's reading an unhealthy amount of books and recharging for his next project. He grew up in Ontario, between flat fields and square patches of forest, and has been a writer for as long as he’s been a reader. Outside of his full-time job, he runs Dragon Bone Publishing with Effie Joe Stock. He is best known for Moon Soul and Human Scars on Planet Skin. He has also published some poetry collections, and has been featured in several anthologies.

You can follow him on Instagram @nathaniel.luscombe and TikTok/Substack @hecticreadinglife.

I think he was a major inspiration for a lot of aspiring writers. Combined with Rick Riordan, Kenneth Oppel, and Michael Crichton, I began to pull specific things out of their writing that I wanted to have. I wanted Paolini's character dynamics, Riordan's humour, Oppel's thrilling plots and cool concepts, and Crichton's pacing and style. I do not think I have successfully acquired this yet, but I think I am well on my way to becoming the author that I want to be.(less)

The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri
"This was gorgeously written and had a fairytale feel refreshed by unfamiliar tales. The romance is deeply emotional and very much the heart of the book, though there was enough mystery woven throughout to keep it exciting. I'm a huge fan of Tasha Sur" Read more of this review »
