About Me

Hi there! My name's JP Nicol and I'm a writer based in Wheaton, IL. I see storytelling as a means to consider big questions through an engaging medium. Few people will pick up a philosophy textbook for fun. But if that philosophy textbook has laser guns in it? They just might.

When I'm not writing, I'm regaling the bar I tend with riddles or discussing the nuances of empire at 1 AM. Sometimes I sword fight. Whatever it is, my love of old tales (especially Shakespeare) inevitably seeps into it.
