About the Author

Thomas A. Buhr is a native Michigander and lifelong fishing enthusiast chasing everything from bluegills and bass to snappers and snook. At 14 years old he moved to Boca Raton - a place nobody had heard of yet - and fell in love with Old Florida. Watching "progress" steal away this magical land also spawned an interest in conservation.While working his way through the academic thicket with degrees from Miami (FL), Central Florida, and University of Michigan, he found time for freelance writing. In over 30 years he has written scores of articles in magazines including Field & Stream, Florida Game & Fish, The Fisherman, Michigan Out of Doors, and Midwest Fly Fishing as well as several pieces for academic journals. He was editor of The Riverwatch and won an Award for Conservation Journalism from The Sierra Club in 2011. Buhr founded the Au Sable Big Water Preservation Association in 2007 and has been a member, often serving on the board, of several Michigan-based conservation organizations.When not fishing, writing or protecting wild places, he cheers for his favorite sports teams: Leicester City Foxes, Michigan Wolverines and Miami Dolphins.

Reviews

"From start to finish of this gripping new thriller, Thomas A. Buhr writes at the top of his game. He draws his characters with such precision - and they speak to each other with such genuine pitch-perfect Midwestern ease - that you will feel as if you've known these guys from way back. "The miracle of this book lies in a dark, decades-old mystery at its core, a story that will rattle you and make you think twice, and at the same time, this novel will make you want to go fishing with old friends. You wouldn't think a book could accomplish this, but The Outgoing does." -Mike Magnuson, author of The Right Man for the Job, Lummox, and Heft on Wheels
"A taut thriller that builds like a river and ends in an exciting cascade. The Outgoing explores the best and worst in people, and does so with heart." -Josh Greenberg, author of Rivers of Sand and Trout Water: A Year on the Au Sable
