ⓘ About Howard Turk

Howard Turk is an American author that writes historical mystery novels. Many of his books are based on Turk’s own experiences. Turk has lived a far more interesting life than most. He was born in Pittsburg. His upbringing was such that he went to school all over the world. Some of his education took place in the United States. But circumstances also took him to Canada and Europe. When all was said and done, the author had a Masters’ Degree in Economics. While his education consumed a significant amount of his time, the author’s memories of his time in the army are far more vivid. The author spent some time in Germany as a member of the Air force. The experience he garnered during those early years proved instrumental to the stories he would eventually tell.
