My fiction-writing career owes it start to the bad navigation of an 18th century pirate. For it was in 1717 that a ship, the Whydah went aground, reportedly carrying a treasure. In the 1980s, three salvage groups went head-to-head, competing to find the wreck. The controversy over the salvage got hot at times and I thought there might be a book in their story. I developed my own detective, an ex-cop, diver, fisherman, and PI named Aristotle “Soc” Socarides. He was more philosophical than hard-boiled. Making his first appearance in “Cool Blue Tomb,” the book won the Shamus award for Best Paperback novel. After many years in the newspaper business, I turned to writing fiction and churned out five more boo ... read more

Follow me at my  Facebook Page Brenton Barwick
I grew up in rural Herriman Utah and loved the outdoors. I discovered the wonders of reading suddenly, in the 5th grade. I consumed hundreds of books – Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jack London, H. G. Wells, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Anne Mccaffrey, Louis L’amour etc. I discovered that I also loved to write in Mr. Dave Judd’s 12th grade English class at Bingham High School when he assigned us to write our own Beowulf adventure; it leaped from my pen and he asked me to read it in front of the class. It was a great day that should have inspired me to continue writing. I chose to pursue a bachelor’s of business management, and found that I had little time for recreational reading or writing. My character a ... read more
