Secret Staircase Books Presents:
Rick Adelmann has been around the hill and has fallen off a few ridges. Always a writer, He started at the age of twelve.
He spent a couple of years with the Cleveland PD, enlisted in the Air Force, worked at a Medina, Ohio radio station, then headed out to California to make his fortune. And, forty-five years later, he’s still trying to make it. At least he’s prepared himself. Rick kept writing as he worked for a BA degree in History, taught school, acted in a couple of movies, repossessed cars, sold real estate, work in security, and manned the cord boards at the phone company. All this experience gave him ideas for plots and characters. When not writing, he spends time with his lovely wife Gayle, greets people at his church, putters in his garden, watches baseball, and plays with his Dachshund, Cookie. His MG&M Detective Agency Mysteries brings all the allure of the Roaring Twenties in this historical mystery genre series. |
