Ray Mileur

Ray Mileur (1955-) was born in Murphysboro, Illinois. He is a former United States Marine (retired military), police chief and private investigator.

His writing career began in the late 90s, when he founded a website, covering the St. Louis Cardinals and their minor league affiliates. After attracting over 10 million visitors, his website became an affiliate with Scout.com and Fox Sports. The crowning moment of Ray's sports writing career came in 2008, with an invitation from former Cardinals' manager, Billy Southworth's family, to represent the manager and his family at the National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremonies in Cooperstown, New York.

Ray is currently working on a series of novels that are loosely based on a lineup of characters from his own case files.
