Hugh Rowland, author of ON THIN ICE: Breakdowns, Whiteouts, and Survival on the World's Deadliest Roads (Hyperion, June 8, 2010; Hardcover; $24.99)

Hugh Rowland is one of the most popular characters on one of History's most popular shows, Ice Road Truckers. Season four premieres on June 6th and Hugh's highly entertaining first book,ON THIN ICE, about his adventures from first snowstorm to final thaw, comes out on June 8th. If you're a fan of the show, then you're already familiar with Hugh's boisterous, slightly salty, entirely charming personality. He's a bear of a guy and a "man's man" if there ever was one - taking his life in his hands every winter to drive the dangerous ice roads of the far north in his now-legendary truck, The Crow's Nest. He's a smart guy, a family man, and is filled with entertaining anecdotes and "Hughism's" that any one of us can learn from. Radio hosts would have a fun time chatting with him about his insane schedule, get some survival tips, learn how to navigate hairpin turns while staying warm in negative sixty degree temperatures, and find out how being a television star has and has not affected him.
