Nicholas Atwater writes swashbuckling steampunk fantasy. He resides in Montreal, Quebec with his incredible, brilliant wife and two cats. As an ex-thespian, he certainly does not practice funny accents in the shower, and no one can prove otherwise. He is a veteran Dungeons & Dragons gamemaster, famously feared for both his villains and his puns.

Echoes of the Imperium by Nicholas Atwater
"I recieved an advanced copy from Net Galley, the reviews are my own.

What a swashbuckling tale of pirates, magic and things not going to plan! The Iron Rose is manned (by men, women and others) and is captained by William Blair, a goblin. This is the " Read more of this review »
A Matter of Execution by Nicholas Atwater
"A steampunky Firefly-ish airship does a heist. Felt very familiar in a lot of ways, which isn't a bad thing. I've been super into rompy space opera, and this is basically that with steampunk trappings. I will def read more in this series. "

"I knew after reading the prequel novella A Matter of Execution that this was a series that had my preferences written all over it and it's nice to be absolutely correct. I had never seen a swashbuckling steampunk that so effectively combined airships" Read more of this review »

I would sooner, however, let members of the community decide if this a LGBTQ+ story.

“Sometimes, contempt for the person you don't want to become can get you through those times when courage otherwise falters.”
Nicholas Atwater, Echoes of the Imperium

“I—” I paused, still trying to parse his meaning. Slowly, I knitted my brow. “I have no intention of involving myself in Miss Hawkins’ affairs any further than I already have,” I said adamantly.
Evie sighed long-sufferingly. “Wil,” he said patiently, “I have known you for over twenty years. You are patently incapable of uninvolving yourself.”
Nicholas Atwater, Echoes of the Imperium

“Do not do this out of guilt. Do it because this is the future you want. Because you deserve the right to determine what happens from here.”
Nicholas Atwater, Echoes of the Imperium

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
