Douglas Carlyle

Doug Carlyle grew up in Urbana, Illinois where he graduated from the University of Illinois with, of all things for a novelist, a degree in electrical engineering. After a circuitous journey that took him through 26 glorious years in the semiconductor industry, he began writing great fiction. He also married, raised a family, and relocated to the Central Texas Hill Country.

Against this backdrop of mountains, valleys, live water, and wildlife, he is writing fiction intended to touch all of his readers in a very special way.

Never being able to choose just one pastime, he continues to practice his 30-plus year long medical ministry as a paramedic, while filling in the gaps in his calendar writing, signing, or selling his books.

Doug is a member of the Writers' League of Texas and the Houston Writers Guild.

His debut novel, published in 2010, is a family drama titled, "In Search of the Fuller Brush Man." It is a 2012 BRAG Medallion honoree.

He published his second novel, a romantic fantasy titled, "Vinegarone," in late 2012.

His third novel was released September, 2013. It is a psychological thriller titled, "Boundaries."

"Death by Times New Roman" is his latest release. It is his initial foray into the mystery series genre, complete with a tough protagonist named Cat Kavanagh.
