The Big Empty is the book.l
Following a career as a scriptwriter for classic shows like “Hill Street Blues,” Cagney & Lacey,” “Quincy,” “Miami Vice,” and “L.A. Law,” he published debut novel, The Monkey’s Raincoat, came out in 1985, Crais' novels have been categorized as "mysteries" and "thrillers", but critics also describe his work as a unique form of modern literature that utilizes the classic portrayal of Private Investigators as seen in the works of Raymond Chandler. He’s also known for his deeply atmospheric Los Angeles settings and scenarios that are often unique to the area. Whatever it may be, his writing affects readers profoundly, transcending any category. To read THE BIG EMPTY is more than to experience a page-turning thrill ride, but also to find oneself emotionally invested in the characters and their story.

Higher than Everest The author has been around the block - Born in the blitz Almond's education ties him down. Finally he breaks free to cycle around Scotland but much prefers riding a black horse 1500 miles across Spain and France. A year at Oxford University is less rewarding than labour in Hamburg's docks and Berlin's brick yards before he joins an Irish gang building skyscrapers in London.
Take a break, man. Do something useful!
Caring for the big cats and elephants of Bertram Mills Circus leads Almond to a unique moment of luck and soon he's hitching a ride to Plymouth in a Rolls Royce. There he signs onto a square-rigged brigantine bound for Hawaii and learns he'll also be doubling for a film star. Three months later the ship sails into Honolulu Harbor where Almond transfers to an oil tanker supplying islands of the South Pacific. Oh such hardships!
In Rarotonga, he jumps ship to stay with an Irish author and a family of witches before going on to Australia where drudgery on fruit farms is tougher than writing for the Melbourne Age. But life down under yields to the itch and Almond heads for Canada where he's employed as a ranch hand for the Champion chuck wagon driver of Calgary's stampede. Then winter drives him south for the fall round-up on west Texas cattle ranches. Yeehaa…
Back in Europe, he heads for Costa Smeralda in Sardinia with a bunch of enterprising girls who know how to cook. He sets up a successful summer bistro but clients vanish in winter. Almond returns to the USA to promote Beefeater Gin and Cutty Sark, serving lashings of liquor for five weeks from Boston to Houston on the Flying Scotsman steam train. Selling British products extends to a spell at Neiman Marcus, the world famous store for extravaganzas. Fat wallets have bigger hearts in Texas, recalls Almond. Oh for the simple life again…

Dr. James R. Gregory, a renowned business author and entrepreneur, co-founded a highly successful global brand management consulting firm in New York City alongside his wife, Evelyn Clyburne. Their 40-year journey in business culminated in the sale of their company in 2013.

Transitioning from business to literature, Dr. Gregory began writing a series of captivating novellas under the collection ‘Small Fortunes,’ featuring the memorable characters of Steve Stackhouse and Nancy Crocker. These stories, blending romance and business acumen, have resonated widely, earning a place on Amazon’s bestseller charts. He followed this with his debut novel, Zephyr’s War.

Award-winning and bestselling author Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Merry & Pippin, the finches. He is the author of the bestselling “Dissonance” 6-book alien invasion saga, the post-apocalyptic saga “The End,” the sci-fi thrillers “Forecast” and “The Slide,” the children’s picture books “The Ring of Truth,” “The Sword of Joy” and “The Book of Power,” the business reference business books “How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book” and “The Superhero Anomaly”, several business books on voiceovers penned under his former stage name (Joshua Alexander), as well as a previous fictional novel, “The Omega Room.”
When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, “The Electric Boy” was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron’s desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create. He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more.
The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment. Aaron’s favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L’Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, C.S. Lewis, Stephen King and Dave Barry. Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.
