Recently, PARADE Magazine asked Nicholas to choose his favorite novel. It was too difficult for Nicholas to pick just one book so instead, he shared the name of his favorite author and talked about how the writer has influenced his work since he was a child.

“Not only did he fan the flames of my passion for reading (I couldn’t put his books down, which made me seek out other books that replicated that experience), but he truly shaped my concepts of what a writer could do and be.”

Find out who Nicholas’s favorite author is and read the brief interview at “Top Authors on Their Favorite Reads.”
