From the Author:
Paperless was written in the early 2000's and first published in 2003. Assange didn't inspire this fiction - maybe the opposite! As the players become more sophisticated, we will see more and more cyber malfeasance, espionage and terrorist attacks on the internet. As a premise of a lead character in the novel, R. Jessup Fuller, is being played out today, how is it feasible and what can the end game be? --A. Townsend Marshall
About the Author:
A. Townsend (Al) Marshall was born in Detroit Michigan. He grew up on the far east side of the city where he attended Catholic grade school and high school, before attending the University of Michigan in the early sixties. He received a BS degree in Engineering. Al was a rare engineer at the time, having elected English as his engineering curriculum electives. He wrote technical articles, for the Engineering College publication, the Michigan Technic. After graduation from Michigan, Al spent the first part of his career as a gas turbine performance engineer with a Detroit based company. He married Marina while attending the University of Detroit in evenings working toward his MBA. With an MBA degree in hand and strong emerging interest in computing systems, Al moved from engineering into information systems. Before retiring in 2002, Al has progressed in that field for over thirty-seven years. His first novel, Thread of Decency, in part, draws on his experience in industry which includes implementation of major computing systems in functional areas of engineering, manufacturing, finance, general business and most recently eBusiness initiatives. His second novel Paperless, builds up his first novel but stands alone as a new mystery also inspired by his years of IT experience. Al has led in defining major corporate information technology directions, systems strategies and the development of large and small organizations in their successful implementation. He is also a Certified Six Sigma Blackbelt. Al has been married to Marina for over forty-two years, has two grown children and four grandchildren. He and Marina enjoy woodworking, photography, lapidary, quality time with family, friends and their life together in Northern Michigan. Al enjoys writing and has one other novel in progress as well as a screenplay.
