Nick Valentino’s evolution of writing started with music.

Residing in Nashville Tennessee, his background is a curious mix of music, history and the love of all things artistic. Graduating from Belmont University with a BA in History, he played in touring bands for most of his adult life writing volumes of lyrics along the way. It was then that he discovered a love for storytelling.

Inspired by his intense intrigue with history, his travels around the world and the throngs of steampunk enthusiasts around the nation, Valentino wrote the Alternative History/Science Fiction novel, Thomas Riley.

As a pop culture fanatic, Valentino is constantly involved with the new and fresh things that life has to offer. While sometimes hard to label, readers will always find something fun and a little out of the ordinary.
