Mendez, Nelson: - Nelson Mendez was raised in Union City, NJ in the United States since the age of three. As a young child, Nelson discovered he liked to draw and often made his own comic books. He studied a little at a private business school in Union City. At the age of 26 years old, he started writing Allegiance since it was his 1st book it took him a few years to finish it. He had the manuscript on him for a few years until his wife read it and insisted that he should publish it. Nelson hopes that you enjoy reading War of the Gods: Allegiance The Second Alliance as much as he enjoyed writing it.
