Randall Wood is a renowned author from America, who is famous for writing mystery, suspense, and thriller novels. He is particularly popular for writing the Jack Randall series. Author Randall is also famous for writing several short stories set in the world of Jack Randall. Prior to becoming a writer, author Randall spent many years in other occupations. The jobs that he was involved in before taking up writing as a full time career include being a soldier, bartender, teacher, and flight medic. The latter is the one in which author Randall spent the bulk of his former years. He used to take out time between the 911 calls and missions to write stories based on his co-workers. Quite often, he used to feature the strange situations and the odd location they were made to visit in case of emergencies. However, author Randall was not able to find his niche. Then, he decided to listen to his inner voice and came up with the idea that he will write mysteries. And when his interest in writing mysteries increased, he took the decision of quitting his job and writing full time. As of today, author Randall resides in Southwest Florida along with his lovely wife named Jessica and three beautiful children. Both Randall and Jessica are fond of pet animals. For this purpose, they have housed a Great Dane and 3 cats. Just like many other writers, he too had not planned to become one. He used to write assignments during his school days. But, there was hardly any fun in it.

The first time author Randall had fun in writing something was when he penned a short story along with his classmates. He had made the boys dense and the girls as plastic in his story, and it brought a good laugh for them. The others liked his work and asked him to do it again. This way, author Randall kept on writing stuffs in his school time. Seeing his popularity in writing stories, the school authorities decided to name him the Class Writer in their yearbook. This could have been the turning point of his life, leading him to a good career choice. But, Randall seemed to have other plans at that time. His priority was to escape from his small hometown and get enrolled in the Army. Besides, he also had plans to travel to different places of the world. As Randall didn’t have good athletic ability, he had made up his mind that he is not going to study further. Joining the Army kept his spirits raised. Even though he learned a great many things there, but he could not make a career out of it. Therefore, he had to part ways. He chose to volunteer for receiving training as a medic. Author Randall believes that it was the best decision of his life. He left the army after obtaining his civilian licensure. His job of being a paramedic was more of a part time job. But, he made his way to a plane, a helicopter, and finally as a classroom instructor. While going through all of these, the stories were always there in author Randall’s head. He knew that they would come out one day. Randall’s habit of penning short stories about his fellow soldiers, classmates, adventures, and students continued even during his working days. Eventually, he succumbed to the frequent calls and ended up writing his first full length book, called Closure. After this, Randall’s writing genes changed to a high gear and helped him complete at least one book every year. However, the one thing Randall finds bad about writing is that his reading time has been cut short.
