ⓘ About N.H. Paxton
Paxton started writing at the age of ten, just ridiculous stuff, totally stupid stuff. If you read it today, you’d chuckle at the horror he inflicted upon his family. A couple decades later, he writes professionally, but there is a story behind it, like there is with all good work. He’d always wanted to write professionally, however everything seemed to always be out of reach. Big publishers were so intimidating to him, and the idea of having somebody professionally critique his soul’s desires caused him a whole lot of anxiety. So Paxton wrote some short stories, and published them on Deviant Art for years, hid his craft and chose not to do anything further.
