Nick Doney Sr. is a storyteller whose imagination operates at the intersection of history, science, and myth. A lifelong student of theoretical physics, mythology, and the narrative traditions of classic adventure fiction, he brings to his writing an obsessive attention to the architecture of both worlds and sentences, constructing stories whose structural precision serves the wildness of the tales they contain. His interests range from the speculative frontiers of physics to the ancient cosmologies preserved in mythology, from the golden age of exploration to the secret histories of those whose contributions reshaped history without receiving the recognition they deserved.
He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his family, where the grey skies and the old forests provide the kind of atmosphere that is conducive to writing about ancient artifacts, dimensional anomalies, and the stubborn persistence of love in the face of impossible odds.
He has written 10 novels, and has many more novels and series' planned to continue developing, including continuing the Age of Gods series, and Nova Roma with 12 Episodes planned in total.
Besides producing novels, he also produces music, videos and games.

A magnetic pole sitting inside the hole. Confirmations arrive from Europe, Britain, and China before dawn. On the ice, an oceanographer measures a freshwater lid that will not mix....
In the summer of 1997, a sound rises from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. NOAA’s deep-sea hydrophone arrays record it as the loudest biological signal in their operational history, a sustained, ultra-low-frequency pulse emanating from the most remote coordinates on the planet’s surface, the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, a point so far from...
On a rain-hammered October evening in Oxford, Dr. Henry Patterson, a solitary scholar of lost Elizabethan plays, discovers an uncatalogued Jacobean manuscript buried in the restricted depths of the Bodleian Library. The folio is attributed to William Shakespeare. It is complete, extraordinary, and unlike anything Patterson has encountered in two...
The proposition that "21 is the new 18" has migrated from popular commentary into serious policy argument, invoked in debates over the age of majority, criminal responsibility, and the allocation of adult rights. This paper subjects the proposition to systematic examination by disaggregating it into four separable claims: a demographic claim about the timing of role transitions, a developmental claim about the maturation of capacity, a subjective claim about self-perceived adulthood, and a...
