Steve Murphy put on his first uniform at age 19, starting with four years in the Navy and a stint in the Army National Guard. Steve then spent 23 years as a police officer, 14 on the SWAT team and 9 as a sniper. After retiring from the force, he swore his next job would allow him to dress however the hell he wanted to. So, he became a writer, which can be done in pajamas while drinking Scotch.
Steve currently lives on a 12-acre farm somewhere in North Carolina with his wife, three dogs and a cat. That is about to change and he may soon be homeless, living under a bridge with the people mentioned above, and a troll named Sam.
