Rick J Barrett

Born in 1951, I grew up in Clawson, a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. After attending Oakland University I became a Treasury Agent for the State of Michigan where I worked for 30 years. My duties included those of a warrant officer, seizing and selling assets of delinquent taxpayers as well some work with cigarette smuggling and tax fraud cases.

My writing started as most writers, because of love of books and a story to tell. Pontiac, Michigan, a city steeped in automobile history, became the setting for Benjamin Street, a historical fiction work, and research into the city's history was exhilarating. Farhill Farm, a murder mystery, resulted from my experiences as a Treasury Agent, will be out soon.
