The author is a retired cartographer and graphic artist from the Government of British Columbia. He left Canada in his Jeep, Silver Bullet, to live for a time in the tropics of Mexico. There and on his return he wrote the book Jonathan Owen, Silver Bullet and Bank Robber. The Mexican people, black volcanoes, jungle landscape, torrid climate and a 25 year old woman who robbed banks in North Africa, inspired him to write. On his return from Mexico the author embarked on the book A Dead Artist Can Make a Good Living. The author fictionalizes the stories of his experiences into those of his character Jonathan Owen.

So through his work as a civil servant in the Government of British Columbia he masterminds, with the help of his daughter, a scheme that will make them both a fortune. On his retirement and his return from Mexico, Jonathan hatches his project. Jonathan did not realize how demanding, physically and mentally the project would be. Neither did the author who went to the places his character did.
