Russ Tilton

Russ Tilton knows how to kill people. More importantly, he knows how to hide the bodies. Fortunately, he prefers to do his killing with words. He learned those skills as a US Marine, and during his thirty year career in law enforcement. He retired from the Memphis Police Department in 2020 as a detective sergeant where he worked everything from homicides to internal affairs to narcotics investigations. This foray into the darker side of life is reflected in his stories. When he is not adding to his literary body-count, he enjoys sailing, kayaking, scuba diving, hiking and drinking coffee, lots of coffee.
