Joseph Flynn

Joseph Flynn is a highly regarded American author, well-known for his political thriller/suspense novels. He has written several series, including Jim McGill, Ron Ketchum, and John Tall Wolf, demonstrating his versatility and wide-ranging storytelling abilities. Flynn's work has been published through traditional channels, such as Signet Books, Bantam Books, and Variance Publishing, as well as his own imprint, Stray Dog Press, Inc. His books, including "The President's Henchman", "Nailed", "Round Robin", and "The Next President", have been praised by both major media reviews and readers alike, with Booklist noting his talent as an "excellent storyteller" and the Chicago Tribune hailing him as a "master of high-octane plotting."

Born and raised in Chicago, Flynn earned his B.A. in English from Northeastern Illinois University. Despite his Midwestern roots, Flynn eventually left the city behind due to its harsh winters. He sought out warmer climates, spending time in locations such as Los Angeles and Honolulu. It was in these locales that Flynn particularly enjoyed writing, often setting up shop under the shade of palm trees beside the blue oceans. Flynn is married and has one daughter, and while specific details about his personal life are often kept private, his professional accomplishments and dedication to his craft are well-documented. Flynn's work continues to captivate readers, who frequently encourage him to "write faster, we want more."
