David L Maurer, author, was born in Central Illinois and spent his first eighteen years growing up on a farm with five brothers and sisters. For his entire life, he has been a writer and a singer.
“I strive to achieve excellence in writing and singing, as I did in my 40 year engineering career. My purpose in writing and singing is to tug at people’s emotions, whether happy, funny, sad, or frightening, and to pull them into the story. I cherish this opportunity the reader has afforded me to play with emotions and pull him or her into a situation alongside Randy. This need to stir people’s feelings will keep me going for as long as my mind and my body will allow. I hope my work in Phantom of the Beach will draw you, the reader, into Randy’s life.”
