MEET Chuck Brownman

A mostly-retired (and hopefully recovering) attorney, Chuck Brownman now enjoys writing noir fiction, concentrating on short fiction. His work has been published in several anthologies and on multiple websites, including those listed at the top of this episode. He has also served various times as a judge for the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Awards. When not writing fiction, Chuck continues to advise some of the country’s most entrepreneurial energy and natural resource companies. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Law and has spoken at legal seminars for many years. He lives with his wife in the mountains of Colorado, the peaceful vistas offering a counterbalance to his suspenseful and often bloody crime fiction.
