THE AUTHOR: JOHN A. GUTHRIE

Born and raised in Laramie, Wyoming, Guthrie has lived and worked in 23 countries. An honors graduate of USC in Los Angeles, this award-winning writer/producer (Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Eric Sevareid Award) has worked on nuclear weapon and armor fire-control simulation systems. His knowledge of military hypersonics caused FBI CI6 to protect him for 10 months- after a KGB tasking order was intercepted with his name on it.

John is a fine artist whose work sells worldwide. His research on econometrics was published by the University of Amsterdam Center for Non-linear dynamics in Economics and Finance (proof you can fool some of the people, some of the time).For fun, John does high performance test and evaluation driving of Ferrari and Porsche. He also enjoys driving his own high performance cars on race tracks like Laguna Seca and sharing the experience in print.
