J. Dale Dillard

I'm a native New Mexican, born in Roswell and raised in Las Cruces. I hold a B.A. in Journalism and a master's degree in Information Technology, both from New Mexico State University. My professional experience working alongside emergency dispatch and law enforcement for the City of Las Cruces, the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office at the Mesilla Valley Regional Dispatch Authority 9-1-1 center and the New Mexico State University Police Department Dispatch informs the novel's procedural and cyber elements. I've always enjoyed writing, and in 2015 took a class: How to Write Your First Novel. Since then, I've been working on what is now my debut fiction crime thriller, No Safe Harbor.
