When Stan Gideon left his 20-year career in Military Intelligence working for DARPA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as an Army Colonel, to work as a Sous Chef in a five-star restaurant in New Orleans, few took notice.  His career had been in black ops and his job duties were always masked by some manufactured title to hide his true endeavors.

Crystal Linn – A Brief Introduction

Writing is something I have always done. When I was eight years old I wrote my first poem. When I was nine, I wrote my first short story. Then at the age of ten I began keeping a journal.
