William Crosby Prentice

The author lives in California with Laurie, his wife of thirty-seven years, tries to devote a substantial amount of time with his three grown children and their families, and seeks to devote a minute here and there to climbing, martial arts and hunting. Prentice began writing after a business career that spans four decades in energy, investment banking, technology, and private military contracting. Much of his early career took place in Africa, and he has made a life-long study of its history, and its political and economic issues, which figure largely in his work.
