The author has had two prior careers, one in the world of finance and the other in optometry. Now he is embarking on a third, as a writer of fiction thrillers. When in college, he had a desk job in the rotunda of the Ohio state capitol building. His main duty there was to direct lobbyists and politicians to the proper committee rooms where various House and Senate bills were being heard. Because of this experience, the author became interested in politics and the mechanics of government. Hence the creation of his first novel. This writer's work has been described as being written with a strong narrative hand, allowing him to keep his readers fully engaged throughout the plot.
