STRIDER KLUSMAN – Award Winning Author and Host of the Author in the Headlights Podcast

An award winning, first place author of the Chanticleer International Book Awards, Strider began his writing career after twenty-five years as a fire fighter/EMT. The emotions and experiences of those calls carry themselves through every story, bringing true ‘been-there’ reality to the scenes.

With additional years as a business owner, general contractor, designer, wildland firefighter, big game guide, ski instructor, back packer and sword fighter, his wide range of knowledge is intricately woven throughout his stories.

To date, Strider has written YA (young adult), NA (New adult), and general fiction in the realm of: sci-fi western, light steampunk, dystopian (post apocalyptic), gaslight (early mechanism era) and just good fun reading.

Strider’s sessions will include a LIVE interview from Author in the Headlights as well as mini-interviews with authors at the conference. He will also be on panels focused on YA fiction, series writing, and podcast creation.
