Death by Meditation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780980247435)

Brian Staff is an Englishman, with US citizenship. He has a PhD in Computer Science and has worked for most of his life in selling or marketing information technology. Brian loves exercising, so most days you can see him in the south bay area of California running along roads and through parks to reach the gym in Morgan Hill where he hits the weight room before swimming lengths in its chlorine-filled pool. When he's not doing that he's either gardening, solving puzzles, playing his guitar, or entertaining Olly, his Old English Sheepdog, with fetch and tug of war. He wrote his first novel at the age of seven for his Uncle Joe, and has now written seven more books which are longer than the first one but only a little more sophisticated. Three of his books have been published and his stories appear in the My Dog is my Hero and Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies, and several magazines. He has lived in London, Madrid and Edinburgh and has traveled widely and unwisely.
