Not long after, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn and a host of other thriller/suspense writers entered the picture and captured his imagination.J.D. attended David Lipscomb University, studying speech communications and political science. Becoming an author was never part of the master plan, but...As a fourteen-year-old nerdy boy, J.D. and his friends would gather around the D&D dice for hours on end, trading reality for fantasy, if only in their minds. In his quest to stump his friends with an impossible campaign, he dreamed up a storyline that captured his imagination. Then... well... nothing happened. He grew up and went to work in a completely different world.Too many years later, that story he dreamed pulled at the corner of his mind, demanding to be heard... to be written.Hence, an author was born.
