Nick Barry wanted to be a writer since he was thirteen. This ambition allowed him to do many jobs. While working in China, he became fascinated with the Terra-Cotta Soldiers. He turned that fascination into Escape of the Terra-Cotta Soldiers, Book One in the series. His love for Greek mythology has helped him create another exciting book, Revenge of Poseidon's Trident. Book Three is set in Egypt. Nick lives in North Carolina with his wife, Jenn. He has published the first three books in the Ethan Sparks Adventures Series.

"Dear Mr. Barry, thank you so very much for giving us a signed copy of your latest book! The students at East Forsyth Middle adore signed copies! I'm certain they will enjoy reading more about Ethan Sparks! I am going to see if we can buy multiple copies and use this for a sixth grade class set! We are fortunate to have such a talented author so close to our school! Sincerely, Natalie Gilham, EFMS Media Coordinator"
