"We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
--Sir Winston Churchill
Mystery novelist Tony Hays has worked very hard to fulfill that goal. He has worn a remarkable number of hats in his life. College administrator, soldier, investigative reporter, English instructor, not to mention such fabled occupations as hauling hay and raising goats. He has visited nearly thirty countries, while living and teaching in six of them, including three and a half years in Kuwait. In the fall of 2002, during the build-up to the Gulf War, he sailed on a US Navy warship from Norfolk, VA to the Gulf of Aden, standing the bridge during its Gibraltar, Suez, and Bab al Mendab passages. His reporting on the war on terror has been carried by a variety of outlets, including Spanish television. Tony's short fiction has been published across the United States and Japan. His first two mysteries have attracted the attention of both award panels and literary critics.
As he works on a new historical mystery series for Tor/Forge, Tony continues to teach and lecture both at home and abroad. In the spring of 2007, he was visiting author at South East European University in Tetovo, Macedonia. Check the programs and classes page for details.
