Autor

Nicholas Kaizer is a Halifax-based aspiring educator, academic, and writer. He was born and raised in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, and completed a degree at Acadia University, making the intellectually interesting but logistically ill-advised decision of majoring in history and minoring in biology. After completing an Honours thesis at Acadia, Nicholas completed a Master of Arts degree at Halifax's Dalhousie University under the supervision of Dr Jerry Bannister. In both degrees he focused on the culture of the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic era; concentrating on the victories and then on the losses of the War of 1812. He presented his Master's research at the annual Canadian Nautical Research Society Conference, and was a co-recipient of the Society's Panting Award for young academics. In addition to writing, Nicholas is pursuing a career in education, aspiring to teach history and science in a world that sorely needs an understanding of both. Nicholas is an avid sailor and enjoys hiking the trails of his native Nova Scotia and travelling to see the sights of historical and natural significance around the world.
