Calvin Dean is the author of two best selling novels: “The Epitaph of Jonas Barloff” and "A Door Unlocked". "Curses", a humorous paranormal mystery, and "Geriatric Delinquents", a cozy southern parody are available on Amazon and other book sellers.
Calvin started working in the creative field at age 15. As a young radio disc jockey he wrote advertising for local retailers -- even won a state-wide award at age 18.
From there he worked for an in-house advertising agency for a large department store, hired by a former copywriter for the famed Macy's in New York.
Next came television promotions and production. Calvin's promotional campaign for the news department took the station's ratings from a poor #2 to #1.
My stories are about different topics, including family, friendship, love, advice, perseverance, and forgiveness. I also write about ambition, success, and purpose in life. I even write about time travel. I hope you enjoy them.
Born into confusion, frustration, and resentment, I was culturally acclimated in Chicago, IL and grew up some more in Portland, OR — where I live, to this day! ;)
