Interview: Tom Turner, Author of the 'Palm Beach' Book Series

A native New Englander, Tom Turner dropped out of college and ran a Vermont bar. Limping back a few years later to get his sheepskin, he went on to become an advertising copywriter, first in Boston, then New York. After 10 years of post-Mad Men life, he made both a career and geography change and ended up in Palm Beach, renovating houses and collecting raw materials for his novels. A previous resident of Charleston and Skidaway Island, outside of Savannah, he currently resides in West Palm Beach. Palm Beach provides the setting for​his murder-mystery series of books.
