Autor: C. Descry

DESCRY’S WORKS range from mysteries set on the Colorado Plateau and the Sea of Cortez, to serious studies of human dynamics. "I do, I observe, I listen. I write in the most candid way possible. I research. I put as much accuracy in my novels as I can. My characters are composites. I don’t expose family secrets or those of people I love, but I deal with real issues. At heart I’m a teacher." Descry was born in Colorado and now lives in Prescott, Arizona with his wife and two sons. His background in education, archaeology, business, travel, and adventures of all kinds, comes through in his writing. Few authors have such a rich and varied experience base to draw from. He has been called a Renaissance Man, a Social Critic, a Teacher’s Teacher. He’s been a thorn in the side of the educational status-quo for forty years. Descry is currently researching a book focused on the Inupiat Eskimos in Alaska and the dynamics of their land above the arctic circle. The variety of his writings is evident in: Unscrewed! The Education of Annie, a narrative by a baby-boom generation woman. Descry explores marriage and family, relationships, sexuality and the formative effects of doing battle with public institutions. It is the first candid look…from a parent’s point of view…at the parental choice movement and charter schools. Perhaps the most accurate insight yet into women of our times. The Spirit of the Estuary, a history-mystery told through the life of a murdered Seri Indian Woman. It is set in the northern Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) region of Mexico, and gives the reader a spectacular view of the northern coast and the Colorado River Delta. Reviewers describe it as a work of art and education. The Spirits in the Ruins, a history-mystery that challenges the reader’s detective abilities as Arnie Cain attempts to solve the century old murder of a Native American leader. Descry provides insights into the illegal trade in Anasazi grave goods, and a previously untold history of the Ute Mountain Ute Indian people. The first positive Ute history written. The Spirit of the Sycamore, a tantalizing and complex history-mystery that explores discord and harmony in Sedona, Arizona, which is one of the Planet’s important spiritual energy centers, and one of the Earth’s most beautiful places. Sycamore is a study of a unique Arizona town that attracts rabid developers, greedy public officials, retirees and seekers of spiritual magic and solace. Descry is emerging as a writer who, rather that adopting one style and a formula, uses different ways of communicating. Each of his books is presented through a different voice. His subject matter is as varied as his life and interests.
