Gregory C. Randall
Authors Biography
Gregory C. Randall, Michigan born, and Chicago raised, has made the San Francisco Bay Area his home with his wife for the last 50 years.
However, his early childhood on the south side of Chicago was the inspiration for his first book, a non-fiction work titled America’s Original GI Town, Park Forest, Illinois. This is the account of the creation of the first town designed for the GI’s returning home after WWII. It was first published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2000 and updated in a new edition in 2010.
Mr. Randall has enjoyed writing for almost thirty years, but it has become a more serious vocation in the last twenty years. Greg is the author of the six-book series, The Sharon O’Mara Chronicles. He is also working on the fourth book in the Detective Tony Alfano noir thriller series set in 1933 Chicago. The first book Chicago Swing won a silver medal in the 2016 Global Ebook Awards. His young adult novel, The Cherry Pickers, has won acclimation and awards from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and Northern California Book Publishers Association (BAIPA).
Currently, Thomas & Mercer has released two books in a new series, Venice Black. The main character is a women detective from the city of Cleveland, Ohio. The second book in the series, Saigon Red, was released in March 2019. The third book, St. Petersburg White, will be released in August 2020.
A science fiction space opera, Sector 73, was released in June 2020.
