Kevin Cowherd is the New York Times best-selling author of “Hothead” and five other baseball novels for young readers written with Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. and published by Disney-Hyperion Books.

His first novel for adults, The Gym, has drawn praise from such best-selling authors as Carl Hiaasen (“Darkly funny . . written with wry spark and a keen eye for killer details”) and Dave Barry (“A very funny book by a very funny guy.”)

Cowherd has also written six books of non-fiction. His 2019 book “When the Crowd Didn’t Roar: How Baseball’s Strangest Game Ever Gave a Broken City Hope” was featured as one of the five best new sports books in the Times’ Summer Reading issue that year.

He was an award-winning sports columnist and features writer for The Baltimore Sun for 32 years, and has also written for Men’s Health, Parenting and Baseball Digest magazines.

He lives with his wife, Nancy, in Cockeysville, Md.
