About Me

Formerly a paramedic, wilderness guide, and entrepreneur, Douglas Wright is now a Pacific Northwest novelist and short story writer. Raised on the west coast of Canada, Wright started writing (probably) bad poetry in high-school before moving on to exhortations supporting the elimination of television. Further forays into word count controlled journalism included three-bit pieces in alt-weeklies and adventure mags on personal interest topics such as surfing, kayaking, and coffee.

A fan of the mystery genre since the days of Encyclopedia Brown, a trilogy of fiction writing classes at the University of Washington led to Wright’s current work-in-progress, Murder In The Grotto, a lightly speculative murder mystery that takes place in the Seattle area where he currently lives.
