Jennifer Ellis started writing four years ago before anyone told her that it was dangerously addictive. By the time she found that out, it was too late. She graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst more years ago than she cares to remember before embarking on what she laughingly calls a diverse and eclectic career path, a path that took her from the jungles of Central America, through the bogs and hedgerows of Northern Ireland, to the mountains of Bosnia and Kosovo; then onwards to the sandbox of Iraq (fleetingly), and most recently to the dusty plains of Afghanistan. Along the way she has also transitioned from being a regular army officer to becoming a civilian consultant and army reservist specialising in cyber security. Jennifer currently works for a global security corporation, has contributed to various government advisory bodies, occasionally deploys to hot dusty countries and, in her spare time, she writes.
