I grew up loving the stories of my family's exploits in World War II and was proud of my father's work at the Pentagon as a civilian employee. My uncles and my father have passed away, but their stories , like legends, live vividly in my mind and our family lore.My brother and I served in the Marines. My experience took me to Norway and kindled an interest in geopolitics and espionage. I continued that interest with my studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I recieved a BA in History, but not before learning about counter espionage in a summer job at the J. Edgar Hoover Building in my hometown, Washington, DC.After a masters in Counseling Psychology, I spent several years in mental healhcare, as well as, managing businesses. My desire to write was strong and I first tried to write a screenplay, but found that novels were more to my writing style. Research is another love and I try to incorporate easter eggs and facts of culture, time, and place in my novels. I'm currently working on my second novel in my first trilogy. Please enjoy my debute novel, Spies of Ambient Light.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
