Meanwhile, until she finds that emergency escape hatch, Harlow stays busy channeling her frustrations into writing and reading. The imaginary worlds of science fiction and fantasy are her genres of choice, and provide a diversion from her current predicament.

She's a bit of a cat lady too, and likes other people's dogs.

David Bruns earned a Bachelor of Science in Honors English from the United States Naval Academy. (That's not a typo. He's probably the only English major you'll ever meet who took multiple semesters of calculus, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, naval architecture, and weapons systems just so he could read some Shakespeare. It was totally worth it.)

Following six years as a US Navy submarine officer, David spent twenty years in the high-tech private sector. A graduate of the prestigious Clarion West Writers Workshop, he is the author of over twenty novels and dozens of short stories. Today, he co-writes contemporary national security thrillers with retired naval intelligence officer, J.R. Olson.
