Donald E. McQuinn

Donald E. McQuinn

Donald E. McQuinn (born 1930, in Winthrop, Massachusetts) is an American best-selling author,[1] and former U.S. Marine.

McQuinn graduated high school in Texas, and attended the University of Washington on a Navy scholarship. He served twenty years in the Marines—retiring in 1971 as a major—before becoming an author. He lives in the Pacific Northwest (Normandy Park, Washington)[2] with his wife Carol; they have three grown sons.

In September 1998 he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while on vacation in Hawaii and became the first person saved by the Police Department's recent deployment of automated external defibrillators.[1]

A third book in the Captain Lannat series was announced by the publisher as "a work in progress",[3] but remains unfinished or unpublished.
