About the author

Robert Funderburk's life is steeped in the south. Born by coal oil lantern light in a tin-roofed farmhouse outside Liberty, Mississippi, he has spent nearly his entire life in one environ of the South or another. After receiving a B.A. in Sociology from Louisiana State University, Funderburk worked for the Louisiana Welfare Department across river from his home of Baton Rouge. Navigating a land of old antebellum homes, slave cabins, sugar cane plantations, swamps, and bayous he became intimately familiar with the landscape that would later fill his works of fiction. He spent another year working across the river from New Orleans as well. Most of his work with the state was in probation and parole-midnight arrest runs, scuffling with men intent on not heading to jail, participating in investigations. This work proved the foundation for his Dylan St. John character and has been fodder for the authentic mysteries enjoyed by many.
