For episode 180, we welcomed Nick Horvath to the show! Nick is the author of the SLEDGE VS. action-thriller series.
A native of northern Minnesota, Nick studied Physics and English at Duke University before embarking on a 12-year professional basketball career. Over that time, he transformed himself from a timid finesse player into a rugged rebounding monster, much like his savage anti-hero, Sledge Laukkanen.
Though he has yet to bludgeon anyone to death with his bare hands, anyone wishing to date his daughter should consider themselves forewarned.
He draws inspiration from 80’s action and horror movies, Robert E. Howard’s Conan, Frank Miller’s Sin City, and hard-boiled noir mysteries.
He is currently living the dream in New Zealand with his wonderful woman and awesome children.
In our discussion we covered our love of Ron E. Howard works and Conan the Barbarian, what it means to be an independent author, what makes a book "pulp", why the character of "Sledge" and world resonates with people, his transition from professional basketball player to teacher, and so much more!
