The family moved around a number of times when Pete was young; from Sandusky, Ohio to Bay City, Michigan, then to Maitland, Florida. They finally settled in the small rural community of Zellwood, Florida. At age 22, he moved back to Sandusky and worked at a retail department store at the Sandusky Mall where he met his wife, Debbie. They were married in January, 1984 and have two children.
  
  He joined the US Navy in the Nuclear Power Program and served on the ballistic missile submarine, USS John Adams (SSBN 620b). After being discharged from the US Navy in 1989, he moved his family back to their hometown of Sandusky. He was elected to the Sandusky City Commission, serving a single term from 1993 to 1997. In addition to writing murder mystery/suspense novels, he works as an application process specialist in the IT department of a major electric utility.

• A Lifetime of Deception
  FICTION | MYSTERY
  Becky Lippert and Bobby Garrett devised a plan to rip off young soldiers and sailors of their life savings.  The plan included embezzling life insurance premiums from the Federal Government.  The plan looked good on paper.  It worked even better in practice.  No one was supposed to get hurt.  But when theft turns to murder the military brass must act fast to stop the abuses.  Pat and Joe McKinney are drawn into an investigation that starts near the Grand Forks Air Force Base.  It quickly turns into a manhunt near military bases along the South Eastern United States.  Will the McKinneys stop these vicious perpetrators or will they continue A Lifetime of Deception?

  The perpetrators target young soldiers and sailors at their most vulnerable time; while deployed at sea or overseas, protecting America’s interests.  Only too late do they discover their most dangerous enemy is back in the United States.  Without warning, Pat and Joe McKinney are called to action to stop the perpetrators.  They face danger at every turn even as their own lives are turned upside-down. 

  A Lifetime of Deception is the second novel by P. J. Grondin in the McKinney Brothers murder mystery series.  The plot in this page-turner takes the reader on a journey around the United States from the Northern Great Plains to the Southeast.  This story is not your typical murder mystery.
