Jon R Horton aka J Royal Horton was one of those kids who read under the covers by flashlight and hoped to be a writer some day. He spent one year as an honors student in English at the University of Wyoming before joining the Air Force, where he was a Russian linguist and intelligence analyst. With his GI Bill, he earned a B.A. in Russian Language and Literature from California State University at Northridge. Years later, he entered the D.A. program at Idaho State University as an English major. But the academic gender wars inspired a career move into the international oil exploration business as a Helicopter Operations Safety and Security Supervisor, specializing in remote operations. After retiring he began to write in earnest, and self-published five novels, all five-starred on Amazon. He was last published in the premier issue of the British literary magazine "Ronin." See less
