For a fan of historical fiction, An Assassination of E. Hemingway has it all, a thriller filled with conspiracies, revolutions, double-dealing, lies disguised as propaganda, assassination, and wars. Pasha, the central character, made his choice between Trotsky and Stalin. That choice cast a forty-six-year shadow over him from 1917 in Petrograd, Germany, Spain, Mexico to Cuba in 1959. Dealt a bad hand, Pasha played it to the end, with a bit of help from some friends. Internally, Pasha started to have misgivings about his passion for the Revolution and international Communism. Doubts gradually eroded his convictions. Outwardly, Pasha faced an evil life-long nemesis and, at the same time, the long reach of a KGB death warrant. What will be the consequence of that choice made back in 1917?
Chuck Waldron is the author of four riveting mystery, thriller and suspense novels and more than fifty short stories. Inspired by his grandfather’s tales of the Ozark Mountains and local caves rumored to be havens for notorious gangsters, Waldron was destined to write about crime and the human condition. Those childhood legends ignited his imagination and filled his head with unforgettable characters, surprising plots and a keen interest in supernatural and historical subplots.
With literary roots planted in the American Midwest and South, and enriched by many years living in the fertile cultural soil of metropolitan Ontario, Waldron now resides on Florida’s fabled Treasure Coast with his wife, Suzanne. While keeping an eye out for hurricanes, alligators, and the occasional Burmese python, visitors will find Waldron busy writing his next crime thriller.
