His most successful work was his first novel, ''Added Upon'' (1898), but his writing career also included [[short stories]], [[poetry]], and [[non-fiction]]. He wrote a total of ten novels.<br /> <br /> ==Family and Church Life==<br /> Christian Nephi Anderson was born in [[Christiania, Norway|Christiania]] (modern Oslo), [[Norway]] on [[22 January]], [[1865]]. His parents, Christian and Petronella Nielson, had joined the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] only a few years before his birth and in 1871, they [[emigration|emigrated]] to [[Utah]], [[United States]]. They settled first in [[Coalville, Utah]] and later in [[Ogden, Utah]].<br /> <br /> In 1886, Nephi married Asenath Tillotson and began a teaching career in [[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]] and [[Brigham City]], Utah. From 1891 to 1893 he served a [[Mission (LDS Church)|mission]] for the LDS Church in his home country of Norway and upon returning, resumed teaching. He served as Superintendent of Schools in [[Box Elder County, Utah]] from 1900-1903.<br /> Asenath died in January, 1904, after having three children with Nephi.<br /> <br /> Just two months after his wife's death, Nephi left on his second mission for the Church, this time to [[Great Britain]] where he became assistant [[Editing|editor]] of the LDS periodical, the [[Millennial Star]], under the direction of [[Heber J. Grant]]. Returning to Utah in 1906, Nephi moved his family to [[Salt Lake City]] and secured a position as instructor of English and Missionary Studies at LDS High School. In 1908, he married Maud Rebecca Symons, with whom he would have six more children.<br /> <br /> After a short mission which involved his whole family moving to [[Independence, Missouri]] and an assignment there as editor of another LDS periodical, [[Liahona (magazine)|The Liahona]], Nephi was asked to come back to Utah and begin working as an editor and [[librarian]] with the [[Genealogical Society of Utah]], replacing [[Joseph Fielding Smith]], who had been called to the Church's general leadership. In January, 1923, Nephi developed [[appendicitis]] and died on [[January 6]] after an operation for the malady, when he developed [[peritonitis]]. Speakers at his funeral included Heber J. Grant ([[President of the Church|LDS Church president]] at the time), [[George Albert Smith]], [[Joseph Fielding Smith]], [[John A. Widtsoe]], and several other prominent LDS leaders of the period.<br /> <br /> ==Literary career==<br /> In a piece in [[The Improvement Era]] entitled ''A Plea for Fiction'' (1898), Nephi wrote of the Mormon experience- &quot;What a field is here for the pen of the novelist.&quot; Although he is well-known for his particular style of early LDS fiction, his first published work was the non-fiction title, ''A Young Folk's History of the Church'' (1889). In the early 1890s, Nephi began submitting short works to [[The Contributor]]. He published his most recognized work, the novel ''Added Upon'', in 1898, to wide acclaim and popularity. At his death, a local newspaper, ''The Box Elder News'', exclaimed that ''Added Upon'' had &quot;been read by almost every person in [Utah].&quot; During the last three decades of his life, Nephi would write ten novels and numerous short stories, all involving LDS characters and storyline.<br /> <br /> ===Novels &amp; Other Selected Works===<br /> ====Novels====<br /> *''Added Upon'' (1898), was in continuous publication until 2005<br /> *''Marcus King, Mormon'' (1900)<br /> *''The Castle Builder'' (1902)<br /> *''Piney Ridge Cottage'' (1912)<br /> *''The Story of Chester Lawrence'' (1913)<br /> *''A Daughter of the North'' (1915)<br /> *''John St. John'' (1917)<br /> *''Romance of a Missionary'' (1919)<br /> *''The Boys of Springtown'' (1920)<br /> *''Dorian'' (1921)<br /> <br /> ====Non-Fiction====<br /> *''A Young Folk's History of the Church'' (1889)<br /> *''A Plea for Fiction'' (1898)<br /> *''Purpose in Fiction'' (1898)<br /> *''The Place of Genealogy in the Plan of Salvation'' (1911)<br /> <br /> ====Short Stories====<br /> *''Almina'' (1891)<br /> *''A Visit of the King'' (1895)<br /> *''At St. Peter's Gate'' (1917)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Cracroft, Richard H.
