CR (Chuck) Foster lives in a small California town with his wife of forty-nine years and has two grown daughters and two grandchildren. He was an engineer in high technology for over forty years before retiring.
Chuck started consuming detective novels while his friends were still reading comic books. The quantity of books expanded when the travel requirements of his job increased the hours he spent in the air. It was a natural progression to writing stories of his own.
Dead by Monday is Chuck’s first novel. He started writing in earnest at the beginning of the quarantine when everyone in the world suddenly had free time. He began because he thought writing a novel was the most nearly impossible task a person could undertake. He was right. He does acknowledge that, while it was hard work, it was fun and hugely rewarding.
