WORMWOOD

Nickolas Paullus is, according to the bio in his debut novel, "a daddio first and foremost" but lots of people in Montrose Colorado know him from his time at Storm King Distilling where he manned the bar and whipped up incredible cocktails. But that is just the tip of his talent iceberg, so to speak. Nick is also a husband, a raconteur and now a novelist. He lives in Montrose with his family and "a gaggle of creatures." His debut novel, Wormwood, is out now.
