Harry Carpenter is an author born in Baltimore, Maryland. Sometimes they call that "Bawlmer," where he's from. He's a huge fan of video games, 80s movies and 90s Rock. Some of his favorites are playing Mortal Kombat and Doom, and watching Ghostbusters and Big Trouble in Little China while listening to Smashing Pumpkins and Chevelle. When he's not wasting time playing Xbox, he's writing some wild horror, science fiction and thriller stories. Some of his short stories have won awards! Harry is a huge fan of putting himself as the main characters in most of his books, most noticeably in FUBAR, with the protagonist mirroring his thoughts and feelings while in the United States Army, which took him all around the world.
