About the Author

David Allan Sturman began writing at the age of twelve, but his name first appeared as a byline in newspapers while working as a photojournalist, and not splashed across the covers of books�until now.
Sturman served three years in the United States Army Infantry and participated in the Invasion of Panama in 1989. Post-service, Sturman graduated from The Ohio State University School of Journalism in 1997. His first job after college was taking on the role of photo editor for a small-town newspaper in northern Ohio. Over the course of three years he earned numerous awards for his work, which was often showcased nationally.
His exposure to law enforcement while covering the news led to Sturman enrolling in the local police academy. He now works for a mid-sized city law enforcement agency in central Ohio. Sturman�s books are taken directly from his life experiences, which include being a physically and emotionally abused child, living as a misplaced teenager in the Cleveland foster care system, becoming a hardened soldier in the U.S Army, and, most recently, working through unrest as a police officer with a small-town law enforcement agency.
All of Sturman�s stories walk along the path of truth and are occasionally joined with a bit of fiction, which helps round out his tales. Sturman now lives in central Ohio with his wife and two daughters�waiting to cross paths with his next story.
