Bob Doerr's Background Information
I
grew up in a military family, graduated from the Air Force Academy, and
then had a twenty eight year career in the Air Force. It was a
life style that had me moving every three or four years, but also one
that exposed me to the people and cultures of numerous countries in
Asia, Europe, and to most of these United States.
In the Air Force, I specialized in criminal investigations and counterintelligence gaining significant insight to the worlds of crime, espionage and terrorism. My field of work brought me into close contact and coordination with the investigative and security agencies of many different countries and with the FBI and CIA. This background has helped me develop the fictional plots and characters in my books.
In addition to my degree from the Academy, I also have a
Masters in International Relations from Creighton University, Omaha,
Nebraska. I am a full time author now, with three mystery/thrillers
already published and a fourth to be released this fall. My book Cold Winter's Kill was a finalist for the 2010 Eric Hoffer Award. Loose Ends Kill
was also selected as a finalist the next year for the 2011 Eric Hoffer
Award and later won the 2011 Silver medal for Fiction/mystery at the
Military Writers Society of America annual conference.
I live in Garden Ridge, Texas, with my wife of 38 years, my pet dog, Skyler, and one ornery cat, Cinco.
