Herman is originally from Billings, Missouri. He lives in Albuquerque NM now, having spent several years in Kansas City and Los Angeles. An avid hiker, he has trekked up several of Colorado's Fourteeners and has done significant hikes in several states. Traveling is another passion, and he has visited parts of Asia, South and Central America, Mexico and many countries in Europe. He has written three feature-length screenplays, a handful of short films and a full-length drama for the stage, which was produced in NYC at the 2015 International Fringe Festival. This is his first novel.
