## Resource

In this episode, we sit down with award-winning author Dan E. Hendrickson. Born and raised in Sheridan, Wyoming, Dan has lived an extraordinary life as a journalist, Christian minister, martial arts instructor, EMT, firefighter, and longtime auto detailing business owner with his wife Cheryl. In recent years he returned to his passion for storytelling and has since published multiple action-packed novels spanning Westerns, military thrillers, pirate adventures, and historical fiction. Listeners will hear about the multi-generational Edwards family saga in the Last Enemy series, the swashbuckling Pirate Princess books, the deeply researched biblical historical novel Magi Apprentice, and newer works like Railroad Man, Legacies Son. Dan shares how his real-world experiences shape his heroes, the intensive research behind his historical stories, the role of faith and redemption in his writing, and what keeps him creating across so many genres. A rich conversation about duty, trauma, adventure, and the power of story.
