About Bruce Hammack:
Being raised the son of an Air Force pilot instilled a love for travel in Bruce Hammack. This wanderlust resulted in exposure to interesting places and people that have a habit of showing up in his whodunits. At last count he’s lived in eighteen towns or cities across the U.S. and overseas.
Bruce’s first paid writing gig came in the tenth grade in the form of a twenty-five dollar savings bond. After waiting until the due-date of the civics assignment, he unsheathed his trusty blue Bic pen at first light and shot from the hip. The Lions Club of his small Texas town thought the essay deserved printing in the local newspaper. The English teacher that edited the winning essay is still shaking her head in disbelief.
After college and graduate school in the piney woods of east Texas, Bruce started his career in criminal justice with the Texas prison system. He had a series of mini-careers following early retirement, but published author is his hands-down favorite.
An avid Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes fan, Bruce firmly believes the world can’t have enough whodunits. When not writing, he enjoys travel, classic whodunits and a quiver full of children and grandchildren. He and his wife of thirty-plus years share their home in the Texas Hill Country with an aging gray cat with a missing front fang and a sketchy attitude.
