J.C. Carleson

I never intended to be an author. Although I was always a proficient writer of term papers, reports, and other necessary but mundane documents, I didn't consider myself cut out for the creative life.

 

Nearly a decade as an officer in the CIA's clandestine service changed that.

 

Inspired by years of intrigue, scandal, and exotic locales, I was finally ready to give writing a shot. My fiction and non-fiction works all tap into my unique experiences, drawing readers into the highly charged, real world of espionage.
