Nick Herbert was born on Guam, but no one usually knows where that is, so he just says he’s from Tampa, which has been his home for over fifteen years. While visiting family in Australia, his grandfather got him into creating his own stories and he hasn’t stopped since.
Despite this, Nick had no idea he could be a writer and graduated undergrad with degrees in Geography and Business. He was unfulfilled at several jobs before becoming a National Park Ranger, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He wrote in his spare time and saved up to go to film school.
Nick loves science fiction, particularly with a comedic element to it, because he delights in finding humanity in robots, aliens, and interdimensional horrors. He’s asked several people to describe his writing voice, and all have said something to the effect of “basically sarcastic,” a statement he basically agrees with.
