B. Bernard Ferguson began writing at a very young age as a means of mentally escaping the chaotic world of real crime. After retiring with more than twenty years as a federal agent, Bernard used his experience in violent crimes gained through both growing up and working in the streets of Los Angeles, combined with his love of expression through art and literature to write his books. A Southern California native, Bernard has two adult children, and now lives with his wife Diane in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the author of Where's The EQ?: Race and Policing Up Close, where he used his doctoral research in the field of emotional intelligence, in deconstructing some of the most controversial engagements between police officers and civilians of our time, as well as presenting a path forward toward mending those relationships. When he is not writing mystery thriller novels, Bernard is busy traveling around the country conducting writing research, visiting every winery he happens to stumble across, or spending time in his garden, where in addition to fruits and vegetables, thoughts for his books are often cultivated.
Bernard is a member of International Thriller Writers and International Association of Crime Writers: NORTH AMERICAN BRANCH.
