Corey Lynn Fayman

“A powerful new voice on the crime-fiction scene” (ForeWord Reviews), Corey Lynn Fayman has made a career of avoiding the sunlight in his hometown of San Diego, California, where he’s worked as a keyboard player, a sound designer for the world-famous Old Globe Theatre, and an interactive designer for organizations both corporate and sundry. He also teaches at various colleges and universities. Boredom, and a warped sense of literary ambition, led him to conceive of the character of Rolly Waters, the guitar-playing detective first featured in the San Diego Book Awards nominated mystery Black’s Beach Shuffle. Unduly encouraged by this early success, or perhaps from a personal need for symbolic revenge against guitar playing show-offs, he set about writing a second Rolly Waters Mystery, Border Field Blues, winner of the Genre Award at the 2013 Hollywood Book Festival. Unlike his hard-rocking protagonist, Mr. Fayman can only manage a couple of beers before he has to lie down and take a nap. He’s managed to stay married to the same woman for more years than either of them probably expected, aided by a shared love for improvised driving adventures and an arid sense of humor. Many years soaking up the temperate climate that Mr. Fayman’s hometown is famous for has had no noticeable effect on his attitude.Series:* Rolly Waters Mystery
