Tim Moore retired after nearly three decades as a Detective with the Phoenix Police Department and completed his first novel, “Mirandized Nation,” the true story of how the Miranda Rights came to be.
Moore authored a short story in "The Sharpened Quill," produced by Steven Schwartz. Two more short stories were published in "SoWest: Killer Nights" and "SoWest: Lady Killers",the award-winning anthologies produced by the Desert Sleuths Chapter of Sisters in Crime, Phoenix.
Tim is a founding board member of Sisters in Crime Grand Canyon Writers, in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he assists writers and authors to “write it right” when it comes to police procedures.
He is a member of the Phoenix Police Museum and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #2 and is a long-standing member of the Arizona Historical Society.
He has been married to Laurie Hurd for the past 37 years. She is the great woman behind the good man. They have two adult daughters, Jessa and Jarah.
Clark Lohr grew up on a remote farm and ranch in Montana. Most of his friends were old men who told good stories. Although Lohr has been thrown off of horses and thrown out of bars, most of his life has been urban and mundane. He writes crime stories, and focuses specifically on “current border noir.”
Lohr’s first published novel, Devil’s Kitchen, is the story of Pima County Sheriff’s Office Detective Manuel Aguilar who investigates an apparently routine murder and finds himself in the middle of a hellish conspiracy between a Mexican drug lord and an Arizona land developer.
Clark’s second novel, The Devil on Eighty-five, published in 2014 under his brand name, Bar ZF Press, is a border noir dealing with the drug wars on the Arizona-Mexico border. When a Tohono O’odham cowboy is accused of murdering his wife, Manuel Aguilar follows a trail running out the west end of the reservation to Ajo, Arizona—and to Arizona State Route 85, a smuggling corridor where guns and money go south and drugs and migrants go north. Evil loves darkness on Highway 85 and the desert itself is the deadliest player in the game. Hopefully they will become best selling books.
