Some readers have been curious about how I come up with my characters. In Lost Identity, Counter Identity, Fatal Identity, and the 2023 story, Triple Deception, many of the characters’ personalities came from men I served with in the Army. Some even have the same last names as my fellow servicemen. Not only are some characters based on my Army experiences, so are many of the situations that my protagonists encounter. However, the majority of the individuals are fictional. In some cases, names have been changed to protect the innocent, or not so innocent.
Authors I like to read, who have mystery-espionage genres are Jack Mars and R.E. McDermott.
