Nicholas Derek John Huntley (born 1997, Pacific Northwest) is a Christian author. Although born to protestant parents, he was baptized Roman Catholic and graduated from a Catholic high school. Shortly after, Huntley stopped practising Catholicism to pursue worldly pleasures and seek answers about the world through secular philosophy and radical politics. At the age of 21, his appeal for Christ’s merciful power to forgive sins caused him to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and at the age of 24, his desire to receive the living flesh of Christ in the Eucharist caused him to re-enter into communion with the Roman Catholic Church.
At the age of 18, Huntley wrote his first novel, writing many more since then, but unsatisfied with their quality, they experienced many revisions. Finally, in 2021, he released The Fourth Level series, and in 2022 released A Different Kind of War. His novels offer his witness to the faith, and offer tales of heroism, perseverance, and hope in a dark and fallen world.
