Colonel Chuck Lehman

                Chuck was born and raised in Minnesota where his first writing job was an outdoors column for a local newspaper while he was still in high school.  He earned a degree in physics and a master’s degree in human resources.  After a career as an Air Force fighter pilot and commander he wrote a couple dozen articles for major outdoor magazines.  His first two books were non-fiction.  They taught survival by using real-life stories as examples.  He followed them with ANGELS THREE SIX, a collection of about thirty from-the-cockpit stories from his adventures in supersonic fighter jets.  Chuck’s first novel was THE BIG WOODS, based on the incredible true story of a soldier in the Indian and Civil Wars.  Next came ASHER, the story of a first century Roman soldier in King Herod’s Guard who was sent to Bethlehem in the middle of the night to assassinate all the baby boys.  The novel follows Asher for thirty-three years as he is tormented by his action and pursued by vengeful residents of Bethlehem.  Two more novels are in the works.  First is a biblical story based on the New Testament Lazarus, scheduled for release in early 2012.  Next is a book about two fighter pilots during the Cuban Crisis.  One is tasked with a horrific mission that would take the life of his best friend.  It should be out in late 2012.

     Chuck is married to his soul-mate, Marian (his editor) they have three grown children and nine grandchildren.  They live near Spokane Washington.
