R.S. Guthrie grew up in Iowa and Wyoming. "Black Beast: A Clan of MacAulay Novel" marked Guthrie's first major release AND the first in the Detective Bobby Mac series. L O S T, the series' second book, came out in 2012. "Blood Land" is the first in the Sheriff James Pruett Mystery/Thriller series and represents a project that is close to the author's heart, set in small town Wyoming where he grew up and still visits. Guthrie now lives in Colorado with his wife, Amy, three young Australian Shepherds, and a Chihuahua who thinks she is a 40-pound Aussie!
