About the Author

Richard D. Ward served three tours of duty in Viet Nam while completing nine years of service in the United States Navy. After traveling extensively throughout the far east he wanted to go to Europe. The Navy only offered him Rota, Spain, which seemed remote to most of central Europe, so Richard got out and joined the United States Army, serving 11 years in the service before retiring at age 37. He had the pleasure of spending a total of 7 years stationed in and traveling throughout Europe. He then spent the next 3 years going to college full time obtaining an AA degree from Potomac State College in his hometown of Keyser, WV and a BS from Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD. His services were then needed as a Legalization Adjudicator for the Department of Justice when the Government had the Amnesty program in 1987. After the program was over Richard went back to graduate school at Frostburg and then on to a 20-year career with the Department of Defense. Richard has used these 40 years of experience and travels with the Government to make this an exciting and very different style of novel.
