Junk City is here!!!
The time for a new adventure is upon us! This new novel, Junk City, is sure to be an epic thrill ride of Science Fiction. Follow the young hero Terra as she struggles with the mysterious death of her mother at her work, Overcast Robotics. Everyone around her tells her the best thing for her is to move on and let it all go. She tries just that until Overcast digs through all her earthy possessions, hunting something. If she can find what ever it is they are looking for before they do, maybe she will find the answers to what happened to her mother, and possibly be able to help her.
Hardcovers just in time for the Holidays!
I know for myself and many other book collectors out there, there is nothing more appeasing than to have a matching set of hardcover books that align together on the shelf with matching spines. If you can relate to that, good news!! All five of my books, The Dragon Riders of Arvain saga and Junk City, are all now in hardcovers that do just that! You can now get all five amazing stories in beautiful hardcover. A great Christmas idea for any avid reader.

Q & A with Nicholas K.R. Clausen
Each week I pick one question that you all send to me and I do my best to answer it.
This weeks question comes from a conversation with a friend of mine as we prepared for this weeks Pod Cast.
Q- How does one find time in todays busy society for such pleasantries as reading and writing?
Answer-
On this topic, I can only speak for myself and my experiences.
I have always enjoyed reading and writing, finding it both relaxing and therapeutic. This is important to the subject because if you do not enjoy the act of reading and writing you will have a much harder path of finding time for it. I know people who enjoy hiking, driving, video games, movies, television, and any other manner of entertainment. Reading and writing are no different in this. When some are watching television, others are playing video games. The time is the same how we spend it is different. I just chose to not watch much television, instead opting to spend that time with a book, or pen and paper.
Lastly, what has helped me out is setting times for me to write, or read, as well as goals. For instance, right now I am on a break from work and have extra days off. I spend a lot of time with my family during this period of rest from work, but I also try to write for at least an hour a day, and I try to write eight to ten pages during this hour. So, my advice for you if you are struggling with getting a lot of reading and writing done every day, set thirty minutes to an hour aside for it, turn your phone off and focus on just writing or reading.

Meet the Author-
Nicholas was born in Fort Knox Kentucky. His parents were both in the United States Army at the time so moving around every few years quickly became a part of his life. This gave him the gift of being able to call the whole world his home. The only constant that he found on every base and every new home were his books.
At a young age Nicholas quickly became lost in the world of literature, always veering off towards fantasy and science fiction. As he grew older stories filled with adventure and in breathtaking faraway places began taking root in his mind. It wasn’t until later on down the road that he began to give life to these adventures. In 2011 Nicholas began to pen the story that would be called The Dragon Riders of Arvain.
