Bio
Greetings and thanks for stopping by to visit my page. I am a retired USAF Colonel and a new author, with a three-book contract! I am writing The Child Finder Trilogy, a suspense/thriller series inspired by the experiences I had over my 25-year USAF career in the murky TOP SECRET world of counterintelligence and counterterrorism.
I am also proud that my debut novel, Child Finder, won the Silver Medal for Fiction in the 2009 Military Writers Society of America's Annual Awards program!
Child Finder debuted in June 2009 and received a wonderful review by the prestigious Library Journal (LJ). The LJ placed it on its Summer Reads list and said it is a "compelling debut novel," and a "real find."
I am "thrilled" (pun intended) to say Child Finder received an excellent 5-Star review from Armchair Interviews. Here9;s a snippet of what reviewer Stephanie Boyd had to say: r> “I loved this book! This is a book for anyone who loves political suspense, secret government agencies, and uniquely gifted heroes! A former Military Intelligence Officer, the author’s background adds credibility to this fascinating look into covert operations. But just because he knows what he is talking about doesn’t mean he can tell a good story or especially write one! Luckily for those of us who love secret undercover organizations, paranormal stories, and great intriguing suspense filled tales, Mike Angley has it all together. I can’t wait to read the next two books in the series!” The entire review can be found here: http://reviews.armchairinterviews.com/reviews/child-finder<br> Child Finder follows the adventures of an Air Force Special Agent, Major Patrick O'Donnell, as he discovers he has a unique psychic gift that permits him to find abducted children. I wrote the story because it had been in my head for many years, nagging away at me. I finally set pen to paper in 2001, putting the first draft of the manuscript aside for several years while I continued my Air Force career catching spies, terrorists, and criminals (see below for more about me).
When I retired in 2007 I dusted it off, fell back in love with the characters, and worked to improve the plot line. I believe I have a wonderful story to tell that has trappings of my own personal experiences working in the dark world of government Special Access Programs
