About the Author

A Navy veteran of WWII Hancock currently lives in Arkansas with his wife of 60 years. He spent 40 years with J.C. Penny Co. managing stores in Missouri and Arkansas, then spent the next 20 years operating a commercial real estate consulting firm out of his home. All his life he wanted to write novels so in January of 2005 he sat down at his computer and wrote Gotcha!, his first mystery story. He published it at age 80. It was a success, so it was quickly followed by The Unlikely Predator and 30 Days In May. Up On Crowley’s Ridge is his fourth exciting murder mystery.
