Originally from South Minneapolis, Gene Fournier earned a BA in Philosophy & Literature from St. Louis University, followed by a Master's in Film from USC. A member of the Writers Guild of America West (WGA), Gene worked as a screenwriter and editor in Tinseltown, but sadly, he never got that big Hollywood break.

​

Seeking a return to his roots after twelve years in California, he accepted a Director of Media position with a multinational corporation headquartered in the Midwest. For thirty years, he wrote, directed, edited, and distributed corporate video programs worldwide, managed live presentations, and orchestrated the creative elements for national and international sales meetings.

​

Retired now, with his seven children grown, and fifteen grandchildren to distract him, Gene is finally able to author the novels he’s been lugging around in his head all these years. He's written Science Fiction, Women's Fiction, and now, with his most recent book, Romantic Suspense. His writing has won awards and garnered plenty of positive reviews, but he's still waiting for that elusive film offer.
