Topper Jones writes detective fiction with a dash of romance and plenty of action. All That Glisters is his debut novel. Books two and three of his mystery series featuring surfing crime fighter Thaddeus Hanlon and sassy partner Bri de la Guerra are currently in development. Before devoting himself full-time to writing, Jones worked in public accounting and as a university professor of computer and financial systems. To be close to family, he now makes his home in the southwestern desert rather than his native California. But, when the surf's up, he'll trek the 450 miles to the Pacific Coast to get in a little "water therapy" and catch a few waves. Check out his website at: www.topperjones.com
