Chester D. Campbell

Male

United States

Profile Information:

Hometown:: Madison, TN
About Me:: I have been writing in one form or another for more than 60 years - newspapers, magazines, speeches, PR, advertising and, yes, fiction - my career path wriggles like a snake. I have five Greg McKenzie mysteries (a retired Air Force OSI agent, he and his wife run a PI shop) in print. Check them out at http://www.chesterdcampbell.com. I have two books in the Sid Chance series, the latest out in Octobe 2011. Oh, I also write short stories, but n ot very often.
I Am A:: Reader, Writer
Website:: http://www.chesterdcampbell.com
Books And Authors I Like:: Some of my favorite authors are Robert B. Parker, James Lee Burke, Harlan Coben, Jan Burke, P.J. Parrish, Barbara Parker, Tim Hallinan, Elizabeth Terrell, and Ben Small.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:: Since I average about one movie a year, it's sort of hard to say. I'm not much of a TV watcher, either, except for the news. My wife has been hooked on Hallmark Channel movies, and I've seen a few there I liked. I'm mostly a reader and a listener (to other people talking).

Hate to tell you, Chester, but we really ought to be writing more fiction ... The pleasant thing about this list is the photos ... You get an idea of somebody, even if it isn't necessarily right.

Well, I goofed. Somebody posted a message that he had sent my book to his son, an OSI agent. I clicked the red X thinking it would be a reply, but it apparently erased the message. If the person reads this, please post again. I didn't get your name. Thanks.

Hey, Chester! A-ha, so that's what the red X is all about.

Hiya, Chester - o new head honcho of the SinC-MidTN chapter! Yes, I stop by the meetings once in a while. I was at the November meeting w/ Chris Grabenstein. I think we may even have had dinner together afterwards (although everyone who knows me, knows me as someone else there...) I'm planning to attend the January blues party, too, so we'll see each other there, and get properly introduced then. :-)

Chester, I hope the room is packed for your book launch. My hubby is supposed to work on refreshments for mine along with the staff of the Mysterious Bookshop. I've been thinking about your wife--wish he could take lessons from her in drawing in the buyers before we go on the road in May and June. He's already tired of hearing, "Chester Campbell's wife says, 'Do you read mysteries?'"

Hi, Elizabeth. I got a brief mention in the entertainment column of the morning paper Friday, so maybe it'll scare up a few folks. I've invited lots of people but you never know who will show up. Tell your husband it's an easy job. He'll meet a lot of interesting people. Just be sure he knows which way to direct folks to the restrooms.

Hi Chester
I've enjoyed your posts on DL and thought I'd introduce myself. I like your protagonist's name, and I'm adding it to my "power name" list.
