Richard McNamara has been a Ship's Officer, a Mountain Climber, hunted Western Big Game, and a Livestock Leader for Grange Youth. 18 years at Pelican Bay State Prison left their mark, but the hard grey walls of prison never damaged his sense of humor or his ingrained honesty. These days he is busy Commercial Salmon Fishing on the North Coast of CA and the Southern Coast of Oregon. He hopes you enjoy Pelican Bay, ans that you look for his next book.
