Nicholas DeShaw is an author from Minnesota and is an all around nerd for a good story especially if it’s one with magic and robots. He is Bois Forte Ojibwe and much of his inspiration comes from his traditional culture and contemporary Native America. Growing up in Michigan Nicholas made his way to Minnesota to pursue his education and traditional Ojibwe language. He always tries to bring some Ojibwe into his work but one day he hopes to have full stories written in the language.
Nicholas’ passion for writing has been with him as long as he can remember and he is always ready to talk writing or share ideas. He has written fiction for all ages from YA scifi/fantasy to picture books. Nicholas has been published on A Tribe Called Geek and Grand Entry Geek Out covering all things Indigenerd from TV to comic books as well as Lacrosse All Stars where he has written several pieces on Indigenous lacrosse.
Nicholas DeShaw is a recipient of the All My Relations writers cohort along with a dozen other Native writers. He has a poem published in Yellow Medicine Review. He hopes that his stories will bring more visibility to Native peoples particularly in genre fiction.
When not writing Nicholas helps to promote Native American games, especially traditional lacrosse. He is a proud husband and father, above all else his first passion is his family.
