Additional Information
Kansas born/Australia based novelist whose geopolitical thrillers are known for their international settings, unpredictable plots, surprise twists and sweetly layered endings.
Positive values triumphing in a violent world is a recurring theme for Turner, which comes as no surprise given a Bachelor's Degree in world religions from Baker University and a Master's Degree from the University of Houston. He was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
Turner has smuggled Bibles, worked as a courier and transported thousands of pounds of medical supplies to needy hospitals behind the old Iron Curtain. As a journalist in Los Angeles, he had over 130 articles published in "Lifeline," the magazine of the Union Rescue Mission. He turned to writing fiction in 1996, with his 1999 espionage novel, "The Second Thirteen," earning him international acclaim.
Barnes and Noble (www.bn.com) described Turner as the first author to employ a video trailer to promote a novel, with many other authors now following suit.
