Author Bio:
On my way to becoming a writer, I worked as a fire alarm salesman, a college bookstore manager, a metallurgy lab technician, an IRS auditor, a park caretaker, a school bus driver, a library aide, a special education teacher, and a high school detention room supervisor. The varied work experience, and the personal interaction with people from different walks of life it occasioned, has served me well as a writer.
My short fiction has appeared in literary journals and anthologies. My first novel, “Tamara’s Child,” inspired by my experiences working with at-risk youth, won the 2011 Eric Hoffer Award in the Young Adult book category and was named a finalist in the Popular Fiction category of the 2010 National Indie Excellence Book Awards. My second novel, “The Water Tower Club,” was awarded a bronze medal in the Popular Fiction category of the 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards and was named a finalist in the Crime Fiction category of the National Indie Excellence Book Awards. Although I write mostly fiction, my newspaper column “Now That I Think About It” (since retired) afforded me an outlet for my non-fiction.
My wife and I live in an area of southwestern Oregon known as the Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua. To learn more about me you can visit my website www.bkmayo.com. If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact me at bkmayo.comment@gmail.com.
