JR Conway was born in Washington DC and raised on a Maryland farm. At the age of 18 was drafted into the U.S. Army. Is a Vietnam era veteran with multiple tours as a helicopter pilot. Upon retiring, JR stepped out of one uniform into another and joined the El Paso County, Colorado Sheriff’s department. He owned a fixed base operation for a short time where he sold aircraft and taught people to fly. Not the best decision he ever made.
Conway moved from Colorado to Wyoming where he started, along with his wife, a security and private investigation company. Twelve years after launching that venture, he moved to New Mexico where he started another career as a business consultant and the manager of a Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), at a Community College, helping businesses do business with governments.

I really liked the premise of Greyhound Therapy by J.R. Conway. I guess I didn't realize that the practice of shipping transients and those suffering from mental illness out of town on a bus was something that was done. Now that I've been exposed to the idea, I can see how many problems that would cause for the place the people are being sent to. I think this is probably a bigger problem than most people are aware of, so it is nice that there is a book that talks about this issue and makes people aware of it. Even though it is a fictional story, if it makes people stop and think about what is going on in these people's lives, then the author has done a great job.
I also love a good mystery. I love following a police detective around and watching how he works his magic. How he finds clues and solicits information from interviews and witnesses. How missing trucks are found and evidence is gathered. I think this was a nice addition so the story isn't just about social problems, but wrapped in the larger picture of trying to deal with all of these issues while still doing a person's job and keeping a town safe from escaped prisoners and mental patients on the loose. This is a nice combination that is unique but still works, and I think people will enjoy reading this story to learn more.
