Dan Pinger has played many roles in his long and eventful life. He raises horses. He served in the U.S. Army. He was a notably indifferent law school student. As a newspaper reporter he covered the wild and woolly days when the Mob ran Newport, Kentucky. Dan also spent some time in academia, working as an administrator at the University of Cincinnati. He founded the Dan Pinger Public Relations agency where he and the hundreds of "Pingerites" who worked with him offered communications counsel to clients across Cincinnati and the nation for more than 25 years. And of course, Dan has been a son, husband, father, grandfather and lover, living through all the joy and heartbreak those roles bring. Since beginning to write in his mid 80s, Dan has authored five books. He published his first book of his distinctive stories in rhyme, Love, Laughter, Life and the Hereafter, in 2016 and his second, The Ripley Ridge Storyteller, in 2017. The Ripley Ridge Raconteur was completed in 2018. A Reporter's Memoir: When the Mob Ruled Newport is based on Dan's time working as a newspaper reporter covering the wild and wooly days when the mob ruled Newport, Kentucky. His first novel, Black Smoke and Blind Men addresses global warming in a futuristic setting. See less
