Rod Kackley

Rod Kackley, an award-winning journalist, is the author of the St. Isidore Collection and the Shocking True Crime Stories Collection.

He lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but was born and raised in Metro Detroit. Rod's suburban upbringing is reflected in much of what he writes about St. Isidore, a community that he created in his mind.

Rod has had a lifelong fascination with crime, which is reflected in his writing. Much of the St. Isidore Collection is based on true crime stories. In fact, many of the books, such as The Coffee Shoppe Killer and A Wicked Plan, could best be described as true crime novels.

Rod has also written for Crain's Detroit Business, MiBiz, and PJ Media.
