Aaron Linsdau

Aaron R. Linsdau writes action-packed thrillers and survival guides inspired by real-life expeditions in some of the harshest places on Earth.

He's skied solo to the South Pole, crossed Greenland, and climbed Denali five times—because once just wasn't enough. When he's not writing or filming in the mountains, you'll find him training in the rain, editing in remote cabins, or digging out from whatever snowstorm he thought was “a good idea at the time.”

He lives between high-altitude adventures and off-grid writing hideouts, occasionally pausing long enough to publish a book, fix a broken ski, or remember where he left his satellite phone.

If you like cold weather, close calls, and characters who don’t quit—fictional or otherwise—he’s your guy.
