Doug M. Cummings, Official Bio
Doug has been shot at, driven cars at 110 miles per hour, arrested criminals and been in some hellacious fights. And it's safe to say that all of these adventures, while moonlighting as a deputy sheriff during college, prepared him well for his life's work as one of Chicago's finest crime reporters and author of the highly acclaimed Reno McCarthy crime novels.
Doug began his twenty-five-year broadcasting career as a television investigative reporter before discovering his passion for the immediacy of news-radio. He worked as an anchor, reporter and talk-show host in Kansas, Missouri and downstate Illinois before settling in Chicago.
| Doug on Reno McCarthy: “Reno is better looking, quicker with the snappy retort, in better shape and doesn’t work under the same legal constraints as I do. He can share his sometimes twisted observations on life. I like the guy. If I was a television executive, I’d hire him in a minute.” |
Doug lives in suburban Chicago with his friend and colleague,
Socks-Monster, the feline action-hero, who recently received rave reviews for his cameo role in Doug's second novel, Every Secret Crime. They are currently hard at work on Doug's next book.|
