Blair Howard

Blair Howard is a retired journalist turned mystery writer. Until mid-2015, he wrote sweeping historical epics, including the highly acclaimed Chickamauga, a novel of the American Civil War. In July of 2015 he decided to try his hand at writing mystery novels, and so we have Harry Starke, a hard-boiled detective, "the original tough guy," dark, dangerous, driven, but with a wicked sense of humor and a rougher Mike Hammer type of attitude. Harry Starke, the first in the series, was released in mid-September 2015. Calaway Jones, the 10th book in the series, was released in March 2017, and the 11th book, EMOJI, will be available June 30th 2017.

Blair is also Kentucky Colonel, an honor bestowed upon him in 2008 by the then Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Steven L. Beshear. He is the author of more than 40 books and more than 4,500 magazine, newspaper, and web articles. For 7 years, he ran the Golf Travel channel for the New York Times company, and continued to do so after NYT sold the company in 2013 for 3 more years - 10 in all. His work has appeared in many national and international publications, including Delta's Sky Magazine, PHOTOgraphic magazine, The Mail on Sunday, The Walking Magazine, Petersen's Hunting Magazine, The Boston Herald, The Detroit Free-Press, The Anchorage Times and many more.
