Dennis Pierce is a bestselling author, journalist, and freelance writer. A graduate of Yale University, he has covered events on Capitol Hill, interviewed astronauts and cabinet members, and ghostwritten articles for company CEOs. Like Parker Hanson, the hero of his mystery thriller series set in New Hampshire, Dennis is a 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.
