About
Born in Louisiana, FCEtier spent most of his adult life in Baton Rouge, eventually splitting his time between Baton Rouge and Gulfport, Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina sent him in search of a safer harbor, which he found in Western North Carolina. With an eye for the unusual found within the usual, Etier has been involved with photography for many years.
He began freelance writing several years ago, concentrating on music and book reviews and essays. His writing influences range from Dr. Seuss and Ernest Hemingway to William Safire, Ferrol Sams, Mark Twain, Miriam Goldberg, Ian Fleming, Michael Crichton, Carl Hiaasen, James A. Michener, Caleb Pirtle and John Grisham.
He is the author of “The Tourist Killer” and “The Presidents Club.” FCEtier is a prolific blogger and photographer. Both his photography and his blogs can be found at VentureGalleries.com. He is at work now on his third novel, “A Year Without Killing.”

Hey, I was born in Baton Rouge. Small world. Though I only lived there one year, It’s always been a source of pride.

And thanks for the in-depth review. I busted my britches reading it thinking did I really write all that? You have a way of seeing into a story far behind what reviewers usually say.
Your book, The Tourist Killer, arrived last evening. I’ve read the first 3 chapters mesmerized by your style.
