J P Claypool

I am a parent, veteran, pilot, sailor, and avid motorcyclist who has worked as a telephone lineman (in the days of open wire), government contractor, general contractor, commercial fisherman, aerial fish spotter, sales trainer and construction manager. And am eager to greet each day; I am like the bear that can not resist going over the mountain.

Writing has proven to be a great antidote to insomnia for me and I plan to continue telling the stories of the characters/people in my first try as an author.

I live in California with my wife, youngest daughter, and a dog named Surely (as in "surely this puppy is going to be a bad idea").

I am currently working on "Hidden II: Back In The World" a sequel to "Hidden In Plain Sight: Tales From A Secret War and have recently completed "Finding Morro Bay" a collection of sea stories: sailing, commercial fishing, charter boat operation, and aerial fish spotting.
