The Image of Valor - Paperback

Gary Corbin spent too many years in college at Louisiana State and Indiana University, largely to escape the fate of having to become apart-time logger, farmer, and construction worker like so many members of his immense family. After growing up in a small town on the east coast, in a three-bedroom house shared with eight siblings, two strict parents and a dog, he escaped again to the Pacific Northwest, where he is once again surrounded by loggers, farmers, construction workers, and a dog. Rather than respond with murderous rages, he now escapes by writing murder mystery novels about families of loggers, farmers, and construction workers who have strict parents and...a dog. A homebrewer and coffee roaster, Gary loves to ski, cook, and watch his beloved Red Sox and Patriots. And when they lose, he escapes to the Oregon coast with his sweetheart.
