About Jon Spoelstra


I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating… or murder. 

I didn’t dwell on 'takeout': instead, I started writing mysteries about old guys solving murders. Who knew?

If you’re less than 50 years old, buy one for your grandpa. He’ll thank you, and maybe put (keep) you in his will, or even upgrade your inheritance. 

 If you’re over 50, you may feel like I’ve been reading your mail.

I’ve spent much of my adult life working in pro sports, mostly the NBA, and then co-owning some Minor League baseball teams. Along the way, I became a Wall Street Journal best-selling author. 

Then one day, I sat down at my computer and started Who’s Killing All My Old Girlfriends. What a blast. 

Charlie, Ben, and a few others showed up—and wouldn’t leave. So I kept writing more. They liked that; my readers like it; so did I. 

The Old Guys Murder Mystery books are meant to be fast reads. I try to skip writing the parts that a reader would skip. After all, Old Guys don’t have the patience for a slow read.

I’ll keep writing; you keep reading; Charlie and Ben approve.

I'll send you the same thing I would send Charlie and Ben.


You enjoy Charlie and Ben. So do I. That’s a good place to start.

Every now and then, I come up with something—a joke, a saying, maybe even a song—that Charlie and Ben would appreciate. 

You might too.

So, once in a while, I’ll send it your way.

Not often.

Short.

Always meant to make you smile. Or reflect. Or even laugh out loud.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, drop your email in the box below.
