If he's not chasing animals with a film crew for the riot and the dance,

or producing ninja cartoons for Netflix, or trying to finish his last fantasy series,

you might catch him coaching track or basketball

or just yelling from the stands at the nearest sporting event.

Unless it's Tuesday, when he always forgets,

he's supposed to be recording his next stories or soul food podcast.

Nate, thanks so much for joining me, man.

So I remember being in Starbucks and seeing your book, Hello Ninja,

you're either working on a kid's book, a nonfiction book, a Christian nature series,

or writing a mystery adventure series. Man, that's a ton of storytelling. What got you so focused

on the art of telling stories?

Probably just daydreaming in the sixth grade.

And that's where it started. I think in fifth grade is when it really began.

And sixth grade is when I became aware of it. And in sixth grade is when I told my parents,

this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell stories. I loved Lewis. I loved Tolkien.
