Biography of the Author
Barry J. Freeman is a retired Chicago attorney who now lives in suburban Lincolnshire, Illinois, with his beautiful, curly-haired wife, two face-licking, overindulged dogs, and one love-but-ignore-you cat. He and his wife have improved the world by giving it two female and two male children, who have, in turn, given them five wonderful grandsons destined to do great things, and Audry Lazarus, his first and only great-granddaughter, born to Brett and Kim Lazarus (thank you).
Since his retirement, the author has published two collections of his light poetry: Never Pull A Lion’s Tail and I Finally Pulled A Lion’s Tail (both of which are photographically illustrated ); eight novels: And Other Immoral Purposes; A Tale of Two Lawyers (both of which explore the law business, a subject about which he knows well); The Wanted; Ahmed's List; Assassination in Santo Domingo; Assignment Los Alamos: To Catch a Hacker; Finding Leila; and The Book of Leila, a/k/a Madame Scorpion. He has also published a book primarily for kids, containing two illustrated short stories in verse, Nero the Hero and Who Are those Strange Creatures? (the former is about a captured African elephant, and the latter about a baboon, both of whom are heroes). Writing has taken him out of the jaws of retirement and has become his full-time passion. All his novels are in print, in ebooks, and audio books.
