Davis Temple
Two Letters Then From Booger Den

DAVIS TEMPLE grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi, and was a student at Ole Miss in 1962 at the time of the riots that followed James Meredith's admission to the university. He uses these influences in his novel TWO LETTERS THEN BOOGER DEN (Hats Off, pb. 16.95), a Civil Rights-era novel that follows a Wall Street businessman's dark descent in search of an old love in Mississippi, a page-turner of sordid crime, long steeped in dark Southern lore.

Temple is also an accomplished scientist who has spent many years in biomedical reserach. He divides his time with his family between Long Island, New York and Bonita Springs, Florida.
