C.R. Usher is a native of San Diego and lives in Valley Center, California. His interest in writing fiction came through the urging of his friends. They said his emails were always so inventive and complex that he should take up the craft. His first book, The Diary of Ferris Hawes, was the result of those urgings. The book was well received and nicely reviewed.

The Tavern is a real place, and C.R. continues to work his craft there.
