Mark your calendars\, local authors Gil Mi ller and JC Crumpton will discuss the popularity of Science Fiction.
\nGil had a normal upbringing\, which means his parents aren't to blame f or him going into crime (fiction). Instead\, he blames a steady diet of mo vies\, shows\, and books\, from Miami Vice and Scarface in the '80s to Breaking Bad and Justified in the '00s. T o cap it all off\, he discovered authors such as Michael Connelly\, Robert Crais\, Don Winslow\, and the late\, great Elmore Leonard. He makes his h ome outside Fayetteville\, where he is at work on the next of his Rural Em pires novels. Gil is an Army veteran and a proud member of Bumbershoots Wr iters Society\, and Sleuth's Ink Writers Group.
\nJC was born in Sou thern California and grew up in San Diego\, Chicago\, Iceland\, Germany\, and Arkansas. He lives with his wife\, his cat\, and her dog. Growing up a s a military brat in several different places gives JC a broad palette of experiences to utilize in his writing. He has held a myriad of jobs\, incl uding fry cook\, telemarketer\, soccer coach\, substitute teacher\, and sa les analyst\, making him a confused if well-rounded person. He received hi s undergraduate degree in English with a Creative Writing emphasis from th e University of Arkansas and worked seven years for a daily newspaper\, co mpiling a list of over 1\,000 bylines. He is a proud member of Authors&rsq uo\; Anonymous 2.0 writing group\, \;Ozark Creative Writers\, and the& nbsp\;Bumbershoots Writers Society.
