This article relates to The Last Goodbye
Reed Arvin was brought up on a cattle ranch in
Kansas. One day his parents brought home a
beat up, polka-dot piano they'd bought for $50.
It changed his life - from that moment on he
pursued music, 'first as a passion, and later,
as a career'.
He traveled world wide as a professional
musician before finally settling in Nashville as
a record producer. He says that contrary
to rumor the life of a working musician is a
great one and he was very content. However, he
had often noticed similarities between writing
and music - both had pitch and pulse,
melody and line, so he decided to try his hand
at writing!
Coming Soon: Blood of Angels will
publish on June 28th. As Booklist says,
'This nail-biter is Arvin's third thriller, and
each has been better than the last. He matches
sinister plots with flawed protagonists to
create melancholy, suspenseful, epiphany-filled,
and pain-drenched noir novels'.
