NickBlaze is a poet/author who was raised in MA, USA. Born in 1987, he has had many interests, such as: writing, reading, the martial arts, ancient military history and strategy, video games, and music (such as metal, classical and opera, folk and neofolk).

He has written two books, one called Enter the Glade. While it has not yet been published, it is close to its finish. The book is heavily in its editing phase and will, eventually, be up for purchase in three volumes. The books have been planned for 6x9 inches, 10 font, and approximately 400 pages each. All the Volumes combined form the first book in a three book series. Enter the Glade is about four youths who, in a bellicose epoch, meet an untimely demise and find themselves in the afterlife. Here, God and the Devil war perpetually and the youths must take sides in the war. The main character, Bartolomieu Hyatt, joins the Devil with his male friend Sigurd Owein, while his love interest, Rae Sanura, and Sigurd's love interest, Wendolyn Royd, join God. The novel focuses on their interests in reunited in a time of peace, while focusing on some very heavy, many times controversial ideas on various religions and its effects on the former world.

The second is in its writing phase. It is called When a Phoenix Falls from Flight... and is about a man named Joachim, who with a horrible past, attempts to rediscover his lost childhood. In many ways, it is a suspense and fantasy novel, as he travels from town to town trying to uncover his past while someone, or something, is following him. Every person he meets and who helps him ends up dead in a horrific way, and all he has is a key.

Lastly, he has written many poems. They are longer poems, generally 50+ lines, to a max (to this date) of over 300. The poems are heavily metaphoric with great use of literary devices, though most are simply free verse. Some are epics, done in the styles of Old Norse poems found in the Poetic Edda, such as Ljotthahattr. Some of his poems were collected and formed into a book, which is titled Ephemeral Fantasies - A Book of Poetry. It is up for sale through Createspace.com, at https://www.createspace.com/3382063. Most of his poems are up on AllPoetry.com, as well, under the page www.allpoetry.com/nickblaze.
