Notă biografică
After a career in sales and marketing, Jon Bridgewater turned his love of spinning a yarn from an avocation into a vocation. A graduate of University of Nebraska in Communications and English, he took jobs with Xerox, Southwestern Bell and AT&T finally moving to Houston In 1977. A thirty-five-year resident of Texas and lover of history, he developed a great respect for writers who applied their craft to the writing of Westerns and mysteries. Pushed and prodded by friends, he went to work on his first novel and, after as many as ten rewrites, published Charity Kills, a story about a down-and-out homicide detective who gets a last chance to solve the murder of a young woman who no one else seems to care about. This was the beginning of the David Storm Mystery Series. After the Storm is the second of a trilogy that follows the flawed-yet-determined detective as he turns his life around and strives to solve the murder that matters the most to him, the death of his beloved Angie. Jon's setting is modern-day Houston and, although the David Storm stories are inventions of his imagination, they are based on actual events and take place in recognizable locations in the city he has come to love. After the Storm centers around the months after Hurricane Katrina caused many of the people of New Orleans to leave their homes and find refuge in cities across the United States. Many were temporarily housed in the dilapidated dome Houston once called the Eighth Wonder of the World. When a good friend's little brother is killed in a way that appears to be a message from a rival gang, Storm and his band of unlikely investigators begin their hunt for a killer, and what they find is criminal activity much larger than any of them would suspect. Bridgewater has already written the third book, Storm's End, of the David Storm Mystery Series. In the past two years he has moved from his beloved home in Houston to Colorado, to do research on a series of Westerns he hopes to publish in the next few years. The David Storm series will continue with Storm, Russell, Pancho, Alisha, and all the others of his band of characters being called upon to solve cases many others don't want to touch.
