Cecil Hampton

Cecil Hampton spent most of his professional career as a college professor and researcher of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. Now, he enjoys writing fun and interesting books, instead of boring scientific journals. His books range from mystery and comedy, to westerns and instructional books like horsemanship and trick roping. Most of Dr. Hampton's books are designed to be completed by most readers during an air flight of about 3 hours. Although most books are less than 200 pages, reviewers have described they feel like they had read a much longer book. That's because the author realizes that lengthy 5-page descriptions of things like a desert trail is frustrating to the reader who has much more imagination and creativity to create their own idea of what the trail was like. Reviewers also often express how they enjoy spending hours after reading the book just thinking about the story, like they often do when seeing a good movie. Cecil believes that several of his books would be excellent stories for the movie industry.

The author is a horseman, accomplished trick roper, guitarist, scuba diver, and an All-American senior athlete in the javelin. He enjoys traveling and spending time with his wife, family members, and horses.
