Career
Born and raised in southeastern Nebraska, Doolittle began publishing short stories in small press horror magazines and commercial anthologies while attending college at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Doolittle's first novel, Dirt (UglyTown, 2001), shifted into crime fiction and appeared at #83 in the extended Amazon's Best Books of the Year listing (Top 100 Editors Picks, 2001). His second novel, Burn (UglyTown, 2003), was reprinted in paperback by Random House/Bantam Dell. Bantam Dell went on to publish Doolittle’s next four crime novels, which garnered critical praise from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Chicago Sun-Times, and People, among other publications, as well as from respected authors in the genre.
Doolittle’s books have been translated in Brazil, France, The Netherlands, and Poland.
