After more than three decades working in film and television production, Kinsey transitioned into historical fiction, bringing the pacing, structure, and dramatic momentum of screenwriting into his novels. Many of his books originated as screenplays before evolving into fully realized historical narratives, resulting in stories that emphasize emotional engagement, clarity, and narrative drive.
His published works include Playing Rudolf Hess, An Absolute Secret, Shipwrecked Lives, Remembrance Man, White Slaves: 15 Years a Barbary Slave, and Kentucky Choirboy. Each novel explores a distinct historical period while focusing on the human experiences behind major events.

A Career Built on Storytelling Across Film and Literature
Before becoming a published novelist, Kinsey built an extensive career in film and television as a director, scriptwriter, editor, producer, and cinematographer. Over the course of his career, he wrote approximately twenty hours of dramatic screen content while directing productions including Tree Line, Killing Ruth, and Women Without Wings.
That cinematic background continues to shape his fiction today. Rather than relying on lengthy exposition, Kinsey’s novels place readers directly into situations involving war, political intrigue, survival, epidemics, and personal transformation.
His internationally discussed novel White Slaves: 15 Years a Barbary Slave examines captivity and endurance during the Barbary slave trade, while Kentucky Choirboy explores the life and legacy of Confederate raider Bennett H. Young and the historical St. Albans raid.
Drawing inspiration from authors such as Hilary Mantel, Patrick O’Brian, and Gore Vidal, Kinsey combines historical research with a storytelling style shaped by decades of filmmaking experience.
“Stories have to engage readers quickly and carry them forward,” said Nicholas Kinsey, Author and Filmmaker. “My background in film taught me the importance of pacing and dramatic structure. I try to write novels that immerse readers immediately while remaining grounded in authentic history and human emotion.”
Independent Creative Vision
Kinsey continues to work independently through his own production company, maintaining creative oversight across both literary and film-related projects. His approach centers on what he describes as “high-profile stories,” narratives with immediate dramatic appeal and lasting emotional impact.
In addition to his fiction work, Kinsey has participated in media interviews discussing filmmaking, storytelling, and historical fiction, including a CBC Radio interview on All in a Weekend with Ainsley MacLellan.
