    Biography

    I was born in Columbus, Georgia in 1942 and raised in a foster home. My foster mother was widowed, when her husband died when I was five. I grew up doing the things that all boys do, both good and bad. I lost my mother in 1966 she had been born in 1903. I found myself on my own for the first time. A friend and I left Columbus and headed west in his car to California. We stayed in San Diego for a week before heading up the coast to Monterey where we stayed for six months. I returned to Georgia and moved to Atlanta for the next ten years. I have lived in Paterson, NJ and Philadelphia, PA. In 1989, I once more headed west this time to Long Beach, CA for a year. Then in a life changing move, I went to Las Vegas, NV where I became a convention security guard and in 1998, I met the woman who would become my wife. In 2002 at the age of 60, nearing retirement, I turned to writing. I wrote my first book “Murder at Republic” because I have always loved the B-westerns and movie serials and thought that a murder in a movie studio would be a good plot device. I followed up that book with another “Murder at Columbia.” Both books starred private detective Buck Ames a former movie stuntman and are set in the 1940’s. Vampires have always intrigued me, but they have been portrayed as totally evil or as romance figures. In search of a different kind of vampire, I wrote “Legacy of Adrian Blackthorn, Vampire” a complex character if there ever was one. These three books can be ordered from www.amazon.com. "Murder at Universal" can be found at http://www.lulu.com/authorwoodrowwwalker Now retired, I am now able to write full time. My wife and I moved to Tucson, AZ in 2005 and now make our home there. Recently I have been contributing short stories to the Amazon shorts program. I have one available now and nine more that have been accepted for the program. All amazon short stories are .49 cents each. I am a charter member of Wizards of Words. My web site is at http://woodrow-w-walker.tripod.com

    Inspiration

    I have always loved reading mysteries so it was no great leap to begin my writing with a mystery. "Murder at Republic" is a mystery set in a movie studio circa 1940. I chose that setting because I believed it would be a good plot device.
