Chet BakerWriter, author, novelist. Texas born, raised in a military family. Graduated from the University of New Mexico, studying Psychology, Art, and Business. Early careers included real estate, trucking, and operational management positions. I turned bureacrat reporting directly to the Governor of New Mexico. But government wasn't my style. So, I built a mid-west twelve-year marketing business until the allure of the Southwest called me back to Colorado.I became an executive recruiter and wrote hundreds of resumés about people's lives, dreams, and fantasies. It struck a nerve, the writing bug bit. I first dabbled with simple vignettes and short stories. It wasn't long before I realized I wanted to be a novelist. The idea flourished, and resumé clients became inspirations for character ideas. Ten years later, BLOODLINE RUN became a reality, followed by NATALIE'S WAY. Both crime novels with deep psychological intrigue, thought-provoking plots, and unexpected twists on moral dilemmas. In my writings, I aim to challenge reader's assumptions and keep them on the edge of their seats. But dark fiction isn't all I write. I may come up with a twisty love-lost sentimental piece or a convoluted coming-of-age drama. When I'm not writing, I can be found on the golf course, playing pickleball, or fishing. Or maybe just lying around reading a good book, enjoying the cool, rarified air of Northern Colorado. Read More Read Less
