B. B. Teeter is the author of The RayBright Caper (2012), An Honest Mistake (2014), and Circling the Drain (2017). Though ensemble novels, they center on smalltime San Diego security consultant Kirbi Mack. He grew up in New York State, but lived most of his adult life on the West Coast. He spent five years in Alaska, another thirty in the San Diego area, and now makes his home in Las Vegas. Teeter studied liberal arts in college and is a military veteran. He has worked in bookstores, in sales, as a bureaucrat, as a housepainter, and for a large Indian casino in Southern California. In 2011, when the casino downsized, he was offered a buyout. He took that buyout, and retired early: to write crime fiction. He considers it the best decision he ever made. If not at his desk writing, he can likely be found noodling on a guitar, or else walking on his treadmill, where he likes to read and watch movies.
