The United States of America confronts the full-scale rebellion of several Southern states in the final chapter of The Klass series. Four governors stand boldly before the media and the world and announce their states have seceded from the union. Texas, Louisiana, Missississippi, and Alabama have banned together and have formed a new country – The Federated States of America. No one has any idea that the FSA is controlled by a secret organization – The Klass. Or that The Klass can deploy a new and powerful weapon to defend the FSA against any intervention by the U.S. military to stop the breakaway. The very existence of the union now rests on the shoulders of FBI Special Agent Frank Deal and the extraordinary help of four college students. Their task – find the incredibly powerful weapon, and stop it – before tensions boil over into civil war.
I live in Alabama. Yes, I know. Stereotypes abound about the south in general and Alabama in particular. Some are true. Some are not. I graduated from Auburn University and then attended law school at The University of Alabama. There’s a big football rivalry between the two schools you may have heard about. It’s a major thing down here.
For almost thirty years I practiced law all over the state. No need to bore you with that, except for the fact that my job allowed me to meet real-life characters of all types. Some good. Some bad. And some were just plain outlandish. Not surprisingly, I often develop characters based on the interesting people I met through the years.
I’m still a lawyer, at least technically. But now I’m doing something I truly love – writing. As an attorney, I wrote all the time. Mostly, mind-numbingly detailed legal motions and briefs and such. Now, I can write what I want.
I have an awesome wife who puts up with my eccentricities ¬– writing late into the night or hanging out in the garage fiddling with old cars. She is a lawyer too, but a much better one than I ever was and beautiful to boot. I’m a lucky guy. I hope you enjoy the books!
