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 went to school in Union City and studied a little at a private business school in Union City. At the age of 26 years old he started writing Alligiance since it was his first 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 publish it. Nelson hopes that you enjoy Alligiance as much as he enjoyed writing it.
