Author Kent Politsch completed his first book in 1999 as a coffee-table corporate history of a transportation company for which he worked in the 1990s. With his son and daughter in college playing sports, he hung up his coaching gear and began weekend writing while employed at USDA. The farm boy graduated from the University of Illinois leaving the farm for stints as television news producer and corporate communications manager, including a brief time as Director of Communications for the Missouri Governor. His family left the Midwest for his wife’s career move to Baltimore in 1998, where Politsch spent the first 12 months writing the corporate history. His two thriller novels were published in 2012 (Global Anger) and 2014 (Blood Anger). In 2021, after three years of research and writing, he published Beebe and Bostelmann, a historical novel, which was made available as ebook, paperback, and hardcover in December of that year.
