Gregg Edwards Townsley

Gregg Edwards Townsley is a reflective, free-thinking ex-pastor, martial artist, writer and Western Fast Draw enthusiast living in St. Helens, Oregon. No stranger to the places his Western characters inhabit--Reno, Carson City, Virginia City and Lake Tahoe--he raised his children in northern Nevada, from 1984 through 1993, while serving as pastor and head of staff of the First Presbyterian Church in Carson City.

Prior to living in Nevada, he made his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Penns Grove, New Jersey, "a veritable fountain," he says, of people and places he likes to visit in his Tommy Valentine, PI series of short stories.

Townsley is a member of the Western Writers of America.
