Enes Smith was raised in a house that resembled a library. His work as a homicide detective led to his first two novels, Fatal Flowers and Dear Departed, both published by the Berkley Publishing Group. Crime writer Ann Rule encouraged Smith to finish Fatal Flowers. Rule wrote, "Smith is a cop who's been there, and a writer on his way straight up. Read this on a night you don't need to sleep . . . 'cause you won't." She also said, "Fatal Flowers will make The Silence of the Lambs seem almost Tame."Fatal Flowers was the first book of The Serial Killer Chronicles series, followed by Dear Departed. The third book of the series, Shadowland Survivors, is due to be released on April 15, 215.Smith's work as a tribal police chief on the The Warm Springs Indian Reservation of Oregon led to his latest novels, Cold River Rising and Cold River Resurrection. Cold River Rising has been described as "A modern day 'Dances With Wolves.'" Cold River Rising is in production for a major Native American Movie. He has been a college instructor and adjunct professor, teaching writing, sociology, social deviancy, and criminology. He has a master of science degree in Correctional Administration. He regularly teaches at police academies, and delivers a keynote speech, "The One Minute Lie Detector," to groups around the country. The series, The One Minute Lie Detector, will be released later this year, a series with tips to encourage truthful behavior. When he is not writing or speaking, Smith drag races a superbike, and rides his touring motorcycle for much of the year.
