Piper Bayard

Piper Bayard is an author and a recovering attorney with a college degree or two. Jay Holmes is a fifty-year veteran of field espionage operations with experience spanning from the Cold War fight against the Soviets, the East Germans, and the various terrorist organizations they sponsored to the present Global War on Terror. Piper is the public face of their partnership. Bayard & Holmes pen nonfiction books on espionage tradecraft and military and intelligence history, as well as fictional international spy thrillers. They are the authors of SPYCRAFT: Essentials for writers and espionage enthusiasts, and their fictional thrillers are known for authenticity of tradecraft. Their current focus is their Apex Predator spy thriller series. When they aren’t writing or, in Jay’s case, busy with “other work,” Piper and Jay are enjoying time with their families, exploring back roads, talking foreign affairs, laughing at their own jokes, and questing for the perfect chocolate cake recipe.
