Author Bio

Don, of Dempsey Investment Management, is a financial planner and asset manager. He lives in Shelburne, Vermont with his wife, Betsey, his, "I'm 18 you know!" son, Aaron, and a very fat cat. His eldest, Katie, is now off on her own trying to ignore financial advice she was raised with. When he isn't watching the market go up and down, Don enjoys sailing Lake Champlain, shopping at Trader Joe's, and attempting to "break and run" in his APA pool league. This novel is a first for Don. His wife says she'll even read it. Don looks forward to having more time in the "empty nest" years to possibly write another financial thriller, assuming he finds another topic worthy of murder.
