A retired U. S. Navy veteran, Al Albers is a Technical Writer for a defense contractor, and a part time professional magician in his spare time. He has now added "a published novelist" to his list of accomplishments.
Al's three mystery novels, Of Ghosts and Magic,House of Tarot Cards, and A Pocket Full of Voices feature protagonist John Michaels, a retired Master Magician living in Virginia Beach.
Al has created a down-to-earth character who voluntarily becomes a private investigator to help unravel a seemingly impossible mystery.
Michaels' unique understanding of how the mind can be easily fooled, coupled with his "outside the box" thought process, methodically proves that an unconventional clue - no matter how strange - is always worth pursuing.
