About The Author

The author J. Michael Moriarty never knew or met Hunter Thompson. Moriarty was learning how to become a reporter while HST was crashing the boards at the Rolling Stone with Fear and Loathing. He went to law school after journalism school, hoping to become an investigative reporter. That didn't happen, so Moriarty started practicing law in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Recently, Moriarty has redirected his efforts to writing again. First came the Hemingway stories (Hemingway's Retreat to Ireland and Hemingway's Return to England). Now he is bringing back another legend from journalism and the culture wars. Doctor Gonzo. Hunter Thompson. The author has written a series of books on Hunter Thompson as a young Nazi hunter: The Return of Hunter S. Thompson, An Untold Story of Nazi Hunting, Vol. 1 – 3. Moriarty believes Thompson would have been a steadfast Nazi hunter if he had the opportunity to pursue that vocation. The author gives him that chance. The most recent work is Stolen Shadow, Crazy Horse is Missing. This Native American warrior was killed in the custody of the U.S. Army. No one knows what happened to him after his death on September 5, 1877. The author Moriarty proposes a colorful possible scenario for what happened to the famous warrior.
