About the Author

Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian Era. His other, non-greyhound books include Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities. His 1843 novella A Christmas Carol remains especially popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre.

John Gaspard is author of the Eli Marks mystery series as well as three other stand-alone novels, “The Sword & Mr. Stone,” ”The Greyhound of the Baskervilles" and "The Ripperologists." He also writes the Como Lake Players mystery series, under the pen name Bobbie Raymond.

In real life, John's not a magician, but he has directed six low-budget features that cost very little and made even less - that's no small trick. He's also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, they've made more than the films. Those books ("Fast, Cheap and Under Control" and "Fast, Cheap and Written That Way") are available in eBook, Paperback and audiobook formats.

John lives in Minnesota and shares his home with his lovely wife, several dogs, a few cats and a handful of pet allergies.
