Author Bio:
I write under the pen name of Rand Law and I have dedicated my life to training and writing about the martial arts. My quest is to capture the adventure and the transcendental nature of this pursuit in my stories. I believe that these tales reveal insights to some of the hidden elements of being human and also to the paradox of martial art study. I primarily utilize a Lee Stanislavsky like system with my writing. My fictional stories are a bit of a mélange of adventure, and science fiction; with an essence of mystic experiences as a core element in all of my Dream Walker book series.
My background in writing started first as a reader, which I began before kindergarten. By sixth grade I was writing stories that my homeroom teacher read to my classmates as a reward for completing assignments. This recognition from teachers continued on as I went on to other schools as well. Likewise, my martial arts instruction began around the sixth grade.
I am a son of retired Christian ministers, and the eldest of their five children. My wife and I have two children which we home schooled. They both graduated college with multiple degrees and summa cum laude. I have worked in law enforcement, personal protection, business management, charity fundraising, farm labor, construction and as a paper boy primarily in reverse order but not exclusively so.
The Dead of Winter by Jean Rabe
About The Dead of Winter by Jean Rabe
It’s a Happy New Year…
…but not for Sheriff Piper Blackwell. Fifty-eight minutes into her first day on the job she’s faced with a murder—the victim artfully posed amid the decorations on his lawn.
Fresh out of the military, twenty-three-year-old Piper is in charge of a manhunt during the most brutal winter sleepy Spencer County Indiana has experienced. Her opponent in the recent election…Chief Deputy Oren Rosenberg…doesn’t like her; she has no experience working in a sheriff’s department, and he wants her to fail. Piper doesn’t like him either, but she needs him to help catch the killer.
In a deceptively peaceful county where everyone seems to know everyone else, a murderer hides in plain sight, and Piper and Oren are thrown together in the hunt.
That’s not the only crisis Piper faces. Her father, the previous sheriff, fights for his life. Facing personal and professional threats, Piper has to weather the winter storm, keep the sheriff’s department from crumbling around her, and reel in a killer before he claims another victim.

Author Bio:
Born in 1965, I grew up on a working cattle ranch in the desert thirty miles from Wickenburg, Arizona, which at that time was exactly the middle of nowhere. Work, cactus and heat were plentiful, forms of recreation were not. The TV got two channels when it wanted to, and only in the evening after someone hand cranked the balky diesel generator to life. All of which meant that my primary form of escape was reading.
At 18 I escaped to Tucson where I attended the University of Arizona. A number of fruitless attempts at productive majors followed, none of which stuck. Discovering I liked writing, I tried journalism two separate times, but had to drop it when I realized that I had no intention of conducting interviews with actual people but preferred simply making them up.
After graduating with a degree in Creative Writing in 1989, I backpacked Europe with a friend and caught the travel bug. With no meaningful job prospects, I hitchhiked around the U.S. for a while then went back to school to learn to be a high school English teacher. I got a teaching job right out of school in the middle of the year. The job lasted exactly one semester, or until I received my summer pay and realized I actually had money to continue backpacking.
The next stop was Australia, where I hoped to spend six months, working wherever I could, then a few months in New Zealand and the South Pacific Islands. However, my plans changed irrevocably when I met a lovely Swiss woman, Claudia, in Alice Springs. Undoubtedly swept away by my lack of a job or real future, she agreed to allow me to follow her back to Switzerland where, a few months later, she gave up her job to continue traveling with me. Over the next couple years we backpacked the U.S., Eastern Europe and Australia/New Zealand, before marrying and settling in the mountains of Colorado, in a small town called Salida.
In Colorado we starved and froze, started our own electronics business, and had a couple of sons, Dylan and Daniel. In 2005 we shut the business down and moved back to Tucson.
I am currently writing mostly full time. I am also a social worker and help facilitate groups for boys in local area high schools and middle schools.
