Red Earth

A novelist, screenwriter and ghostwriter, Canfield has lived in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Miami Beach, Auckland, New Zealand, and his own personal Pennsylvania trifecta, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre and his hometown of Bethlehem. He now resides in Long Beach, California with his favorite blondes, writer-editor wife Lisa and dog Betsy, but he will undoubtedly move again, because that’s just what he does.

Canfield’s books include Dark Sky, Blue Fire, Red Earth and White Rain (the first four books in his Max Bowman series); What's Driving You???: How I Overcame Abuse and Learned to Lead in the NBA (co-authored with Keyon Dooling and Lisa Canfield); Pill Mill: My Years of Money, Madness, Sex and Drugs (co-authored with Christian Valdes and Lisa Canfield); and 226: How I Became the First Blind Person to Kayak the Grand Canyon (co-authored with Lonnie Bedwell. Blue Fire was a 2016 Silver Honoree in the Benjamin Franklin Digital Awards as well as a semi-finalist in the Book Life Prize in Fiction competition. Red Earth was a 2017 Gold Honoree in the Benjamin Franklin Digital Awards. He has also co-written two Hallmark movies, Eat, Play, Love and Yes, I Do with Lisa Canfield, and they contain no swearing or violence.
