About the Author

Gil Polanco lives in San Antonio, Texas with the mother of his children, a dog, a turtle, and a cat. He served 20 years in the Navy and worked as a test administrator at Palo Alto College. He is a drummer and performs on seven records that were bought by about two dozen people. He is a big fan of History because real events are often more crazy than fiction.
