J.T. Conroe is a retired architect and former U.S. Air Force officer who was born in Montana and has since traveled widely and lived in various places around the world. He is an editor/publisher of non-fiction history books. J.T. has authored several literary suspense/thriller novels set against the expansive background of recent American history. One reviewer said “this writer has a strong literary sense reminiscent of noir novels of the past.” Expect to encounter his American protagonists in such places as post-war Nebraska, Washington during the Watergate scandal, Central Asia during the aftermath of 9/11, a small town in West Texas, Dresden during its devastation and long, slow recovery, a remote city in post-Soviet Russia, the Chicago underworld, the Hollywood fringe, or the international black market in art stolen by the Nazis. Conroe started writing at age ten and publishing at age 60. He currently lives in the lively city of Austin, Texas with his wife Margaret and their imperious dachshund who answers (when it suits her) to the name, Ruby.
