His parents were told that he would die before he reached age two, but by age two he was very much alive. When he was two his grandmother died and his parents left Amarillo to move to Philadelphia to be near his mother’s family. However when he was in the third grade the family doctor told hismother that she and his younger brother Tom, needed to move to a dryer climate. So the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Chester entered the fourth grade when school started and attended school in Phoenix until he graduated from high school. He began his writing career doing reports on animals during his fifth grade and sixth grade school years.
He was turned onto mystery books at the Maricopa county library branch in his Phoenix neighborhood while in the sixth grade. Being an avid reader he read many books on several topics. Detective and mystery books were among them. Books like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ and Franklin W. Dixon’s ‘The Hardy Boys’ to name a few. Today at nearly 74 Chester enjoys writing on various topics but especially detective mystery. Mr. Fenton and ‘The Halloween Moon Case’ is just such a book.показать меньше
