Jon Spoelstra spent decades in the NBA front office before picking up fiction writing. He ran the Portland Trail Blazers for eleven years and later served as president of the New Jersey Nets, where his marketing strategies turned one of the league’s worst-attended teams into a revenue success story. His business books, starting with Ice to the Eskimos in 1997, drew on those experiences and became favorites in sports marketing circles.
In 2015, Spoelstra published Do Overs, a time travel thriller about second chances. Then in 2022, he launched the Old Guys Murder Mystery series with Who’s Killing All My Old Girlfriends? The series follows a group of retirees, including Charlie North and his buddy Ben Tucker, who keep stumbling into murder investigations between golf games. With eleven books published through 2026, the series has become Spoelstra’s most prolific fiction project, mixing lighthearted humor with whodunit plotting aimed squarely at readers who enjoy their mysteries with a dose of retirement-age comedy.
