Gregory Smith

    Předtím, než se Greg Smith začal věnovat psaní beletrie na plný úvazek, pracoval v oblasti public relations. Jeho debutový román byl vybrán do čtvrtfinále soutěže Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Smithův styl se vyznačuje pronikavým pohledem na lidskou povahu a společenské nuance. Jeho příběhy často zkoumají složitosti mezilidských vztahů a morálních dilemat.

    • Augen auf beim Autokauf Shamus Ryan ist Autoverkäufer in der verschlafenen Kleinstadt Wilmington. Doch hinter der dauerlächelnden Fassade lauert ein eiskalter Psychopath, der sich bitter an denjenigen Kunden rächt, die ihren Wagen bei der Konkurrenz kaufen. So steht der hünenhafte Detective Chang zunächst vor einer rätselhaften, völlig zusammenhanglosen Mordserie. Er weiss nur: Der Killer ist völlig wahnsinnig und wird nicht aufhören. Er zieht seinen ehemaligen Partner hinzu: den hochneurotischen Nelson Rogers, der jedoch die aussergewöhnliche Gabe besitzt, in Tatorten und dem Gefühlshaushalt anderer Menschen wie in einem Buch zu lesen. Gemeinsam versuchen sie, Shamus zu stoppen, bevor es noch weitere Opfer gibt. Gregory Smith studierte englische Literatur und Betriebswirtschaft und arbeitete danach in den Presseabteilungen mehrerer Firmen in Washington, D.C. und Philadelphia. Ausserdem arbeitete er als Hypothekenmakler und - natürlich - als Autoverkäufer. Gregory Smith lebt mit seiner Frau und seinem Sohn in Wilmington, Delaware.

    • "Kudos to Patty Bates-Ballard and Gregory Smith for helping all of us navigate diversity matters. Using examples ripped from the headlines, pulled from diversity training, and repeated at the water cooler, Bates-Ballard and Smith offer multiple ways we can all deal with comments that are offensive or insensitive. With their open and balanced approach, their humor, and their admonition that we should all model the respect we want to receive, Navigating Diversity is an important tool for diversity advocates and for others. No matter how experienced the diversity advocate or leader, there is something to learn from this book." - Dr. Julianne Malveaux, President, Bennett College for Women
