About the author

Gene Poschman

<p>I am a native Californian who married my high school sweetheart. We are still married; why she puts up with me is still a mystery.<br><br>I have always been an avid watcher of film noir, mysteries, and other detective crime fiction as well as science fiction and fantasy. I read quite a bit, which would probably surprise a number of my teachers. I would have been a better reader earlier if Dick and Jane were detectives, or at least, a wizard and witch.<br><br>​​​​​​​Like a lot of writers I write because I need to. Also as a kid, I was such a liar. I didn't lie about important stuff. I just made up stories. I was told the story of the boy who cried wolf constantly. At least five different versions. It doesn't happen well for the kid in any of them.<br><br>I still make up stories, but because I put them in books; I am an author.&nbsp;<br><br>The Jonas Watcher series is rooted in the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. My style is a little lighter and laced with my own quirky sense of Humour.&nbsp;<br><br>I identify my genre as Adventures, some Detective, and some Spy.&nbsp;<br><br>The rest is subject to change on my personal whim.</p>
