April 2013


Charles was born in Chicago, grew up in the Chicago suburb of Berwyn, and attended Morton East High, where his English teachers set him on the right path for writing on his own. He received an MS from the University of Illinois and subsequently spent his professional life conducting insurance investigations. Only with the coming of the digital age has he had the time and tools to publish his own works. His private detective series set in Chicago is on hiatus, and his first classic genre science fiction novel has just been published.

Insofar as humor and non-fiction are concerned, you don't get writer's block if you have thoroughly researched your subject.(less)
Charles A. Turek Fiction is the alternate reality the writer has in his/her head. I love creating that reality and living in it as I write about it.

Planets Don't Drink

My latest novel, Planets Don't Drink Beer, can be found at Amazon. I am working on a separate "official website" for the book, where I plan on posting chapter material and extended scenes or supplemental material about the settings and characters. I'll post a link in another post here when this is done. Meanwhile, I hope you buy a copy, either hardcover or eBook, and post a review. Thanks to all. Read more of this blog post »
