Andy Brown

Andy Brown is an Air Force, Law-Enforcement veteran who has worked as a Patrolman and Criminal Investigator.

An avid reader of nonfiction, Brown particularly enjoys learning from historical events. He credits Charles Remsberg's Street Survival books for helping him end an active-shooter's killing spree at Fairchild Air Force Base in June of 1994.

Brown's research into the mass-murder incident, and the aviation disaster that occurred four days later, led him to write Warnings Unheeded. He hopes others will benefit from the impactful stories and the valuable lessons contained within them.

After leaving the Air Force, Brown returned to the area of Spokane, Washington where he lives with his family and works for the Department of Homeland Security

Audie Murphy

American soldier Audie Leon Murphy, the most decorated combat veteran of World War II, in later years acted in popular movies and westerns.

Audie Murphy lived in a large sharecropper family as the seventh of twelve children. His father abandoned the family, and as a teenager, his mother died. Murphy dropped out school in fifth grade to pick cotton and to find other work to help to support his family, and his necessary skill with a hunting rifle fed them.
