Smoky Mountain Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977584533)

Jerry Peterson writes crime novels and short stories set in Kansas, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. He's published 16 novels and short story collections, most under his own imprint. "Killing Ham", Peterson's current project, features John Wads, a former military police investigator who becomes involved in clearing a friend charged with the murder of a man who managed a large corporate hog-finishing farm. Before becoming a writer, Peterson taught speech, English and theater in Wisconsin high schools, then worked in communications for farm organizations for a decade in Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, and Colorado. He followed that with a decade as a reporter, photographer, and editor for newspapers in Colorado, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee. Peterson now lives and writes in his home state of Wisconsin, the land of dairy cows, craft beer, and really good books.
