Mike Maden grew up working in the canneries, feed mills and slaughterhouses of California’s San Joaquin Valley. A lifelong fascination with history and warfare ultimately led to a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Davis with a focus on conflict and technology in international relations. Like millions of others, he first became a Tom Clancy fan after reading The Hunt for Red October, and began his published fiction career in the same techno-thriller genre, starting with Drone and the sequels, Blue Warrior, Drone Command and Drone Threat. After spending over a decade in Dallas, Maden now lives in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

A native of Texas, David Thweatt was born in Ft. Worth and raised in Abilene. He earned a Bachelor of Education from Hardin Simmons University and Masters of Education from Texas State University. He started driving a school bus in 1979, and since that time has taught, coached forensics and debate, served as a high school assistant principal, high school principal, and is currently in his fifteenth year as superintendent at Harrold ISD. David is married and has three children—one of which still attends Harrold ISD. His wife, Mindee, teaches Math in Harrold. In 2007, David instituted an armed employee program called the Guardian Plan which has been subsequently copied in approximately 200 districts statewide. He worked with the Texas Senate in 2013 to pass SB 1857 which created the School Safety Certification. This certification program provides employees of schools, churches, and hospitals with concealed handgun training so that these organizations can implement similar programs more effectively.
