Nick Goulding

Nick Goulding grew up in Melrose, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. He studied history at New York University and lived for many years in downtown Manhattan, working mostly as a bartender and pub manager. He and his wife lived for a while in a small fishing town in Campania, Italy, which was an inspiration for his first novel, Licosa. They now live in Austin, Texas with their two children.

Nick owns and operates Cafe Malta, a neighborhood restaurant and bar in Austin. His latest novel, also featuring Martin Bass, is Hero of the Good War. He’s currently working on Licosa's follow-up, Shoot the Honest Man, scheduled for release in the fall of 2022. In the spring of that year, he’ll launch his podcast, The Wild Years, focusing on 1920’s Paris and the Lost Generation.
