Albert A. Bell Jr

I was born in South Carolina but for over forty years have lived in Michigan, on what my extended family refers to as "the wrong side of the Ohio." My wife is a psychologist and we have four adult children and four grandsons. I began writing in high school and sold my first magazine article in 1972. My first novel, Daughter of Lazarus, was published in 1988. Since the late 1990s I've had twenty books published. The second novel in my series about Pliny the Younger, The Blood of Caesar, was named one of the 5 Best Mysteries of 2008 by Library Journal. The Secret of the Lonely Grave won the Evelyn Thurman Young Readers' Award in 2008. Death by Armoire won the Genre Fiction Category in Writers' Digest's contest for self-published books in 2018. Mysteries are my favorite type of reading (and writing), but I also enjoy baseball and college basketball, and anything that has to do with ancient Rome.
