J. F. Holmes is a retired Army senior noncomissioned officer, having served for twenty-two years in both the regular Army and Army National Guard. During that time, he served as everything from an artillery section leader to a member of a division level planning staff, with tours in Cuba and Iraq, as well as responding to the terrorists attacks in NYC on 9/11. From 2010 to 2014 he wrote the immensely popular military cartoon strip, Power Point Ranger, poking fun at military life in the tradition of Beetle Bailey and Willy & Joe. His books range from military sci-fi to space opera to detective to fantasy, with a lot in between. In 2017, two were finalists for the prestigious Dragon Awards. As of August 2017, Mr. Holmes has eighteen books and two novellas published.
