edit data

Jacob Emrey was born and grew up in Northern California. After high school he joined the Marines and served four years as part of the security battalion for Marine One. After his service ended, he went off to college to get his degree in History and a high school teaching credential. However, he was unlucky enough to graduate college and enter the workforce just as the real estate crisis exploded all over the world economy. With no teaching jobs in the U.S., Jacob looked overseas. Since then he has worked in Ukraine, Kuwait, China and Thailand as well as the United States. However, through it all, writing has always been his passion, so no matter where he lived, he was working on something whether it was a novella, short story, or novel.

well executed history To be honest, I was expecting a more arduous tale of hardship and survival but it was still entertaining. Millard does a good job keeping the narrative moving.
