About the author
Born in Rupert, Idaho, Copeland started young in farming, and played guitar in a band, before establishing a decades-long career in criminal justice.
When not writing, he enjoys exploring the world by motorcycle with his wife, sticking to two-lane roads when they can. They’ve traveled the West, Canada, the Great Lakes, the South, as well as overseas — in New Zealand and Australia. Besides motorcycle travel, hobbies include brewing craft beer, and he still picks up a guitar now and then.
I want to thank everyone who has read my books. I do hope you enjoyed them. If they gave you a bit of an escape, I’m pleased.
