Nicholas Grabowsky (born May 7, 1966) is a horror/fantasy author and screenwriter. == Biography == Personal Life Nicholas Grabowsky was born Nicholas John Grabowsky in Norwalk, California on May 7, 1966, to parents Arthur J. Grabowsky and Doris Ruth Moreno. From 1966 to 1995, he resided with his family in Southern California, where Anaheim, California is heralded as his hometown although he also resided periodically in surrounding towns such as Garden Grove, California. He began writing fiction as early as the third grade at the Thomas Alva Edison Elementary School in Anaheim, where his teacher assigned students to pen their own tall tales after viewing Disney film shorts such as ''Paul Bunyan'' in 1958 and Pecos Bill. As early as the sixth grade, while attending Dr. Jonas E. Salk Elementary School, he had written dozens of short scripts and novellas and had drawn a series of comics entitled ''Gooneyville'', which he regularly photocopied and distributed to classmates, as well as audiotaped variety segments entitled ''The Swiss Robber Show'', where he'd utilize scripted recorded voices from locals combined with sound effects and celebrity voices and music from radio and television which he sold for a dollar apiece to faculty, students and neighbors. His creative writing continued through junior high and high school, where he consistently sought the attentions of Hollywood with screenwriting and acting pursuits and involved his writing in various periodicals such as Jack N' Jill Magazine, until a strict conservative Christian Penticostal upbringing and involvement with a number of related denominations and Christian cults found his interests redirected in his late teens towards evangelism, related contemporary Christian music, and songwriting . By the time he was eighteen years of age, he was preaching and often singing largely original songs and playing piano to congregations of over a thousand people with a mannerism and style similar to Keith Green, infused with further influences notably from Steve Taylor and Randy Stonehill. In 1993, Nicholas' parents purchased a house in Sacramento, California, for retirement, and moved to their new home with Nicholas' autistic sister Carol Jean Grabowsky. In June 1995, Carol went missing from her adult education services school, and Nicholas devoted his time to search for her, along with local news media, a host of volunteer searchers, and the assistance of such celebrity personalities as Charlotte Blasier, wife of O. J. Simpson defense attorney Bob Blasier. Carol's body was found by two boys in a drainage ditch near Discovery Park, Sacramento, in October 1995, which remains to this day a closed case with the details leading to her death entirely unsolved. Of note is the fact that Nicholas is the grandson of Alfred Moreno, a 1940s general manager of Los Angeles' Biltmore Hotel, whose brother, Antonio Moreno, was the great Hollywood silent film actor/director who starred in hundreds of films throughout the early twentieth century and, most notably, in Universal's ''Creature From the Black Lagoon''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicholas Grabowsky (born May 7, 1966) is a horror/fantasy author and screenwriter.== Biography ==Personal LifeNicholas Grabowsky was born Nicholas John Grabowsky in Norwalk, California on May 7, 1966, to parents Arthur J.
