His first novel, Field of Dead Horses, was published in May 2012 by Harrowood Books. After receiving critical acclaim[2][3][4] coupled with exceptional sales, Harrowood Books signed Nick Allen Brown to an indefinite contract. Early lifeBrown was raised by a single mother who encouraged his interests in both literature and film. From a very early age, Brown was exposed to the works of film directors such as David Lean, Brian De Palma, Sergio Leone, Francis Ford Coppola, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, Jim Henson, Alan J. Pakula, and Martin Scorsese. In addition to film, Brown was raised on literature, choosing to focus on the works of Michael Crichton, Ernest Hemingway, John Irving and Alan Dean Foster. CareerWriting careerBrown began his career by writing query letters to more than 300 publishers and literary agents. After receiving more than 200 rejection letters, Brown continued to the pursuit to publish his first manuscript, The Perfect Swing, a fiction story set in present day about the first ever amateur Masters Tournament winner. Taking advice he received from those who rejected him in the industry, Brown penned Field of Dead Horses, a mystery set in northern Kentucky in 1939.[5] In 2014, the second novel by Brown, The Astronaut from Bear Creek[6] was published, selling more than five thousand copies in its first week. Small town settingBrown's novels take place in small, American towns and usually feature a diner or a general store. Pen nameIn late 2017, it was announced by Harrowood Books that Brown would be writing a string of novels under the pen name, Nicholas H. and will be publishing novels in the horror and sci-fi genre. The pen name was created as to not confuse those who have become familiar with Brown's dramatic, small town stories. Personal lifeBrown married Rebecca Lynn Tenpenny in Maryville, Tennessee and live in Bowling Green, Kentucky where they have two children. In 2004, he interned for Gary Shusett and Ron Shusett in Los Angeles, California as part of the famous Sherwood Oaks Experimental College[7] founded by Gary Shusett.[8] While interning for Sherwood Oaks Experimental College, Brown received instruction from Gary Goldman (screenwriter), James Cameron, and Quentin Tarantino. During the fifteen years that Brown was working to become a full-time author, he worked at television station, WBKO and Hughes and Coleman Law Firm. Awards and honors
