Baer Charlton

Biography

Amazon Best Seller, Baer Charlton, is a degreed Social-Anthropologist. His many interests have led him around the world in search of the different and unique.

As an internationally recognized photojournalist, he has tracked mountain gorillas, sailed across the Atlantic, driven numerous vehicles for combined million-plus miles, raced motorcycles and sports cars, and hiked mountain passes in sunshine and snow.

Baer writes from the philosophy that everyone has a story. But, inside of that story is another story that is better. It is those stories that drive his stories.

There is no more complex and wonderful story then ones that come from the human experience. Whether it is dragons and bears that are people; a Marine finding his way home as a civilian, two under-cover cops doing bad to do good in Los Angeles, or a tow truck driving detective and his family—Mr. Charlton’s stories are all driven by the characters you come to think of as friends.
