Nathan D. Horowitz

Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Nathan D. Horowitz has a BA in English from Oberlin College and an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts - Boston. After four years in Latin America and fifteen in Austria, he lives with his wife and daughter in Kansas City, Kansas.

He started translating fiction in Ecuador in 1999 as a result of an editorial meeting of the English language magazine where he worked as an assistant editor. The editor said, "We need more content! Does anyone have any ideas?" He said, "I could translate short stories. Do you know any Ecuadorian writers?" She said, "I know all of them!"

He began to write the texts that became the Nighttime Daydreams series in 1993 during a journey to Mexico and Ecuador, little knowing that the crafting of the resulting books would take a quarter century of careful work. He was thinking, like, five years maximum, and probably only one or two.

He is charming and funny and enjoys writing about himself in the third person.
