About the Book

Payday is the story of Orville Fletcher, an Indiana farm boy, who fulfilled his dream of living in Latin America with the woman of his dreams. He worked his way to the top of the organization of a Texas chemical group based in Latin America. Once there, he chose to leave his secure future and go solo in the high risk business of industrial security in Central America during the tumultuous decade of the eighties.

Not many were fortunate enough to possess Orville’s particular set of skills. He was intuitive and adroit in his problem solving skills, he never gave up easily, and he was an expert pilot. His work frequently involved getting someone into or out of a tight spot in the middle of some war or natural disaster, and there always seemed to be an abundance of those situations in Central America. Being able to get someplace quick and knowing what to do in challenging situations, proved invaluable to those who sought out his help. He approached each mission with interest knowing that he would have to be nimble to be able to accomplish his goal. Would this be true of his latest mission as well?


About the Author

O. Lynn Justice was born the seventh of eight children to a farm family in Southern Indiana in 1942. He graduated from Indiana University in Economics, with a year of study abroad at the University of Puerto Rico. Soon after University, he became a Certified Instrument Pilot and continues to fly regularly. He married his childhood sweetheart, Bonita Hedrick, who has stuck with him through thick and thin. They have eight children and thirty two grandchildren and presently live in Guatemala, where they operate an American School. Lynn worked several years for a Texas chemical company, as point man in war torn Latin America. After leaving their employment, he started-up chemical companies in four countries and later worked nearly ten years for his Church as Director of Temporal Affairs in several countries in Latin America. His responsibilities included security and disaster issues, for which his flying skills were invaluable for dozens of rescue missions during disasters and wars, in inclement weather, and frequently under fire. His family has bugged him for years to write a book about their adventures. He says not yet! He feels that he has at least a couple of novels to do first. For now, instead of writing about his experiences, he prefers to draw upon them for his novels.
