Howard had the dream of becoming an author of adventure novels from the age of nine, but he didn’t have any success until the age of 23. For a short period of time during his teens, he was involved in bodybuilding. From his childhood days, he was intellectual and bookish. He was brought up in Texas and spent most the time growing up in the Cross Plains town. Author Howard was born as Robert Ervin Howard on January 22, 1906, in Peaster, Texas, United States. He is particularly well known for creating the character of Conan the Barbarian, and is considered as the father of the subgenre of sword and sorcery.

Howard was one of the greatest authors from America, who liked to write pulp fiction novels in a wide range of genres, including fantasy, historical adventure, detective fiction, boxing, horror, sword & sorcery, and western.
