R. E. Payne

Born in New Orleans but traveled widely for both business and pleasure. I was a magician while a youth, making public appearances in New Orleans at theaters, schools, etc.

I retired as a result of KATRINA where our personal and businesses losses were great.

I have been highly criticized for writing non fiction books about the wrongful acts of the FBI, U.S. Attorneys, etc. by members of those groups but praised for exposing facts of criminal misdeeds perpetrated by these folks.

When you read a nasty review of my books, the writer is most frequently an FBI agent who feels the necessity to speak up for his or brethern. Too bad.

My book "Caught in the Crossfire" was a NBC TV movie starring Dennis Franz as this writer. A recent book, "The End of all Diseases" is optioned as a motion picuture.
