Felix F. Giordano is a member of the Association of Publishers for Special Sales (APSS) and the Connecticut Authors & Publishers Association.

His characters in the Jim Buchanan Novels are reflective of his many life experiences in Montana. From the grandeur of Glacier Park to the cedar forests near the Kootenai River to the vastness of the Madison Valley, from the cliffs of the Rimrocks to the haunting secrets of the Crazy Mountains and the bleakness of the Missouri Breaks, Mr. Giordano captures the varied landscapes, wildlife, people, and customs indigenous to this beautiful and enduring land.

The mystery and haunting secrets of the western mountainous terrain contrasting with the vast and bleak eastern plains formed the natural backdrop for the divergence between two very different cultures inhabiting that landscape providing the inspiration for his Native American themed mystery/suspense/thriller series - The Jim Buchanan Novels.

Mr. Giordano has published the mystery/suspense/thriller novels Montana Harvest and Mystery at Little Bitterroot. His novels' protagonist is a Native American sheriff from western Montana. Both novels have been top ten best sellers in the Native American Literature category on Amazon.com with Mystery at Little Bitterroot achieving the #1 Hot New Release in that category for more than two weeks during April, 2016.

It's one of the clearest injustices of climate change: The Marshall Islands likely won't exist if we warm the planet 2 degrees.
