Dennis Pierce is a freelance writer, author, and journalist. A graduate of Yale University, he has covered events on Capitol Hill, interviewed former astronauts and cabinet members, and ghostwritten articles for company CEOs. Like Parker Hanson, the hero of his mystery thriller series, Dennis is a big fan of Boston sports, as well as '80s music and other GenX pop culture—much to the embarrassment of his two daughters. He lives in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, with his wife Jean and their dog Bruin.
