He currently lives in the Alexandria, Virginia, area, where he is CEO of SOS Temps Inc., his private security firm—whose clients are governments and corporations: Richard Marcmko Inc., a motivational training and team-building company; and Red Cell International, Inc., which conducts vulnerability assessments of high-value properties and high-risk targets. He is the author of The Real Team: The Rogue Warrior’s Strategy for Success: A Commando’s Principles of Winning: and the four-month New York Times business bestseller Leadership Secrets of the Rogue Warrior: A Commando’s Guide to Success. Rogue Warrior, his #1 New York Times bestsellmg autobiography, set the stage for his bestselling Rogue Warrior novels, eight of which were coauthored with John Weisman and one with coauthor Jim DeFelice.

JOHN WEISMAN is one of the select company of writers to have both fiction and nonfiction New York Times bestsellers. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including the novels Evidence and Blood Cries, and the nonfiction bestseller Shadow Warrior, the biography of CIA agent Felix Rodnguez. His much-acclaimed short story. “There Are Monsterim,” was selected for inclusion in the Best American Mystery Stones: 1997, edited by Robert B. Parker. For the past half decade, Weisman has been informally associated with the Heckler & Koch International Training Division, where he war-games many of the scenarios for these novels. Weisman, his wife—a U.S. State Department official and their three dogs live in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. John Weisman can be e-mailed at [email protected].
