𝗣𝗚 𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥 wrote and edited his first newspaper at age seven, when he thought he was destined to be a fireman or a forest ranger. But sales of his paper reached a heady circulation of ten—at five cents a copy! He was hooked: he had readers. He’s been writing ever since. He began as a copywriter in a major New York advertising agency and co-authored the best-selling nonfiction book 𝙁𝙄𝙇𝙏𝙃𝙔 𝙍𝙄𝘾𝙃 (Ten Speed Press). His first two novels 𝘽𝙀𝘼𝙐𝙏𝙄𝙁𝙐𝙇 𝙏𝙊 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙊𝙉𝙀 and 𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙎𝙊𝙉𝙂, 𝙈𝙀𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙊 𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙄 (Woodsmoke Publishing) met with critical acclaim, including the BestThrillers.com 2021 Finalist Award. He has written for numerous publications including Frontier Tales (for which he won the Reader’s Choice Short Story Award), Rocky Mountain Magazine, ArtLines magazine, and Patterns. His stories have been heard on National Public Radio and seen on CNN, Discovery Channel, and other national television. He’s been awarded a regional television Emmy and been nominated for four others. A member of Mystery Writers of America and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, he lives in Colorado. He believes that not everything that’s real can be seen. And still, after all these years, when he can get away from his keyboard, he’s happiest in nature.
