  • Summary

  • In today's episode of Iron Age Marketing, I talk to Stephen Hudler, a super hero fan with a novelist heart. Let's Meet Iron Age Creator Stephen Hudler Stephen Hudler is the author of the superhero fiction EVOREALM book series, which includes DEADLOCK, FALLOUT, and SHATTERED. For years, Stephen dreamed of writing for comic book companies like Marvel or DC. His love of comics and action-adventure movies ignited his imagination to the point where he couldn’t contain it and he used that to create his own super heroic universe (the EVOREALM) filled with powerful and courageous heroes fighting malevolent villains bent on evil. Stephen lives in the Outer Banks of North Carolina with his wife, daughter, and rescue cat. When he’s not working on his next book, Stephen likes to flip through the comics at his local comic shop, catch up on his reading, and watch classic episodes of Doctor Who.
