Author Bio:
The author writes “tweener” mystery books (tough mystery stories that follow the cozy conventions of no graphic sex and no cussing), all published as e-books on Amazon Kindle, with the more recent novels also published as paperback versions. They are all fast moving and designed to entertain the reader. Several of the books introduce the readers to Latin America, a region where he has lived and worked that is a long way from home for most English speakers. Jerry selects the most interesting places, including the locale for the present novel, that he has lived in or visited for Roger and Suzanne to solve miscellaneous murders. Jerry and his wife Elaine breed, show, and hunt test prize-winning German shorthaired pointer dogs. Elaine also edits all of the books.
