As this is the first book I’ve written, I've got no clue what I'm doing. I've always been a huge fan of the military techno-thriller, and inspired by authors such as Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, and Stephen Coonts. As an avid reader in the genre and a father of two, I became compelled to produce a work in this space that would be appropriate for younger readers yet still have realistic and accurate depictions of military combat. I am a reformed Presbyterian and a member of Lubbock Reformed Church in Lubbock, TX, where I also serve as our church’s cantor. Additionally, I am married with two young children and am currently in the process of building my own house, and the patience of my family in this process I cannot discount.
