Bobby Underwood is an American now living in the Snowy Mountains of Australia with his lovely wife, Barbara, also an author, and their dog, Cisco. They live in the Snowy Ways town of Tumut, situated along the Tumut River. "Resting Place by the River" is the Aboriginal meaning of the town's name. The author is a respected film buff and his reviews for classic films of the 1930s and 1940s have garnered many favorable comments over the years. His Amazon reviews for Mrs. Miniver and The Bishop's Wife were quoted in the Saturday Evening Post of Nov/Dec 2006. He has written in several genres and prefers to think of himself as a storyteller, rather than be pigeon-holed. He believes any story well-told, in whatever genre, will transcend that genre and become a memorable story. In addition to being the author of the sensual Matt Ransom crime series set in the 22nd century, the humorous Sheriff Jace Wilkinson novella series set in rural Idaho, the Wild Country old-fashioned western series, and the new Seth Halliday mystery/crime series, he has also written three otherworldly romance novellas, and a nostalgic crime novella set in the 1940s. His first published work, Grover's Creek, is a nostalgic tale set during Christmas.His books:MATT RANSOM SERIES1) The Velvet Sea (novella-length)2) The Tender Shore3) The Gentle Tide4) The Lovely Harbor5) The Sandy Shore6) The Beautiful Island7) The Sensual Sea8) The Scenic Shore (Fall 2016)*MATT RANSOM SHORT STORIESA Matt Ransom HalloweenA Matt Ransom ThanksgivingFourth of July (Summer 2016)*A Matt Ransom Christmas (2015)*WESTERNS The Wild CountryThe Trail to Santa RosaThe Secret of Whisper Valley (2015)*SETH HALLIDAYThe Turquoise ShroudA Long Gray Goodbye (2015)*SHERIFF JACE WILKINSON (novella-length series)The Idaho Affair The Idaho MatterNOSTALGIA CRIME NOVELLA SERIESBeautiful DetourWhere Flamingos FlyOTHER TITLESGrover's CreekChance at HeavenPassage to TomorrowBeyond Heaven's ReachNautica CityAfter Closing TimeDeath in Egypt (Late 2015 or Early 2016)**Signifies a tentative release date The author appreciates all his readers and their continued support and hopes to keep writing stories they love to read for many years to come.
