Nick Horvath is the author of the Sledge vs. action-mystery series. A native of northern Minnesota, Nick double-majored in 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 currently resides in New Zealand with his wonderful woman and badass kids.
