Lancaster Author Explores the American West on ‘The Spark’ on NPR Affiliate, WITF

Award-winning Lancaster-based author Dan Hendrickson was a guest on The Spark hosted by Asia Tabb to discuss his latest novel, Railroad Man: Legacies Son, and the enduring appeal of Western storytelling.

Hendrickson talks about the inspiration behind the book, his lifelong connection to Western history, and how his own experiences—including military service, ministry, business ownership, and martial arts instruction—have influenced his writing. He also discusses the role of historical fiction in helping readers connect with the people, challenges, and conflicts that shaped the American frontier.

The conversation explores why Westerns continue to resonate with audiences today and what readers can expect from the latest installment in the Railroad Man series, a story filled with action, heart, and larger-than-life characters.
