About the author

C. R. Watson, a veteran of the LAPD, doesn’t just write fiction—he writes from the front lines of human resilience. With a career spanning undercover narcotics, counter-terrorism, and serving as the Executive Officer for the department’s Emergency Operation Center, C. R. Watson has spent a decade in the rooms where high-profile security and disaster response are born. From planning the security for the Emmy Awards and the Grammy Awards, to fighting some of the most dangerous terror groups in the world, his life has been defined by one question: What happens when the plan fails?

Today, C. R. Watson translates that tactical expertise into authentic, high-stakes fiction and brings a "boots on the ground" tactical realism to his prose that only a veteran operator can. Whether he’s detailing the grit of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the shadows of an urban fantasy, or a galactic battle, his work is grounded in the reality of a man who has seen "true evil" and survived by the grace of God.

A survivor in every sense of the word, C. R. Watson recently navigated the personal challenge of becoming an amputee, an experience that has infused his protagonists with a new level of hard-won grit. When he isn’t composing music or spending time with his family in the Columbia River Gorge, he is at his desk, wrestling with the eternal questions of angels, demons, and the strength it takes to stay human when the world falls apart., the battle between good and evil isn't a trope—it’s a memory.
