Biographie de l'auteur

Garth Holmes was born and raised in S.E. Idaho, attending elementary and high school there before receiving his degree in Pharmacy from Idaho State College in 1960. He was also commissioned upon graduation in the Army Medical Service Corps and spent sixteen years on active duty with stations in Vietnam, Korea, Germany and various posts in the United States. In 1975 he left active duty to work as a community pharmacist and later as a health care administrator for the State of Washington. He was a member of an Army Reserve Hospital which saw deployment to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm. Garth retired from the Army serving for thirty-four years in a combined active duty and reserve capacity and from the State of Washington after twenty years. His wife Dianne, an English teacher who passed away in 2001 was the inspiration for him to enjoy the pleasure of writing. Garth resides in Olympia, WA and has two daughters who live in the state.
