ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
John lives in the Seattle area with his wife and the world's sweetest cat: Karmann. Raised in a nomadic military family, he is annoyingly curious, a consumer of whiskey, and a political junky at heart, but his greatest interests are his family and their collective shenanigans.
REVIEWS:
"'Thunderbird Rising' has some surprising twists that make it stand out from other thrillers. The author utilizes history — both global and local — to add depth to the story, creating a unique alternate version of history where world governments have hidden the truth behind major global events. Highly recommended for anyone interested in conspiracy thrillers with a dash of science fiction." — Katie Bloomer, BookTrib
