Nicholas Kotar verfasst epische Fantasy-Erzählungen, die von russischen Märchen inspiriert sind. Seine Arbeit als Übersetzer aus dem Russischen ins Englische und seine Rolle als Chorleiter eines Männerchors in einem abgelegenen russischen Kloster, wo er auch als Vokalist tätig ist, prägen seine einzigartige Perspektive. Kotar, der bedauert, nicht im neunzehnten Jahrhundert in St. Petersburg geboren worden zu sein, bemüht sich, den Geist dieser Ära in seinen Werken einzufangen.
