About the Author

Randy Slapnicka was born on a small farm in rural North Dakota. At nineteen years old, he decided to become a deep-sea diver and underwater welder, when up to that point he had never seen the ocean. The confidence in this decision allowed him to take risks in business for the rest of his life, eventually becoming a computer salesman, hardware manufacturer, stockbroker, real estate developer and broker, software developer, miner, restaurant/bar owner, cell tower developer, hemp investor, and now a novelist. He splits his time between Puerto Penasco and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and Arizona, USA.
