The Author

Brian Monteer

Brian Monteer has spent a lifetime in worlds most people only read about. From U.S. Army Airborne infantry, through twenty-five years in law enforcement, to leading corporate protective services on a global stage, he learned how people behave when everything is on the line.

Now he writes the supernatural thrillers he always wanted to read — fast, atmospheric, and built on the question of what we'd become if the oldest myths turned out to be true. The Awakened is his flagship series. He also leads GrayFox Consulting Group, a security and intelligence firm.

He lives in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
