Robert McClure read pulp fiction as a kid when he should have been studying, but ultimately cracked down enough to obtain a bachelor’s in criminology from Murray State University and a law degree from the University of Louisville. He is now an attorney and crime fiction writer who lives and works in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Ricky” (since dearly departed) sat (and slept) by McClure’s side throughout the writing of Deadly Lullaby

His story “My Son”, on which his crime thriller Deadly Lullaby is based, appeared in The Best American Mystery Stories 2009.  He has had other works published in MudRock: Stories & Tales, Hardboiled, Thug Lit, and Plots with Guns.
