Named as a 2015 Kirkus Reviews "Author to Watch," Forrest Carr is novelist, blogger, former radio talk show host, and former TV news director. He is the author of the novels The Dark, Messages and A Journal of the Crazy Year, and co-author of the college journalism textbook, Broadcast News Handbook. After graduating from the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications, Carr spent 33 years in the television news industry, and was a news director in the Tampa, Fort Myers, Albuquerque, and Tucson television markets. Carr has received or shared credit in more than 90 journalism awards, including a Suncoast Regional Emmy for investigative reporting and two regional Edward R. Murrow awards for investigative reporting. His latest scifi/horror novel, The Dark, centers on astronauts making the most ambitious voyage of discovery in human history who begin to wonder whether they've flown so far out into space that they’ve arrived at a point where God does not exist--with horrific consequences. A Journal of the Crazy Year is a zombie-genre post-apocalyptic novel inspired by an actual disease that has struck twice before and could strike again; Publisher's Weekly awarded it a coveted starred review in which it called the novel a "fascinating read" from top to bottom, and many of the events it predicted already have happened. His book Messages is a "buddy journalist" crime novel set in a 1980's newsroom that one critic called a "masterful exposé of TV News." Carr is a long-time fan of old school science fiction, particularly the works of Robert Heinlein. He resides with his wife Deborah and their two cats Ellis and Mina, a.k.a. Butthead 1 and Butthead Also, in Tucson, Arizona. He invites readers to reach him through his author page on Facebook or by way of his website, www.forrestcarr.com.
