J. C. "Kurt" Newman is a retired US Government employee living in the southeastern United States. Kurt's career includes four decades with the military and a variety of federal "alphabet" agencies-running the geographic gamut from Afghanistan through Zimbabwe. He decided that collaborating in creative fiction could prove the best way to satisfy the requirements of the CIA's Prepublication Classification Review Board that wields veto power over his written output-conflating characters, changing names (to protect the guilty), shifting chronology, and using regional descriptions to disguise the more unsavory regimes depicted.
