J Drew Brumbaugh writes suspense novels either with a science fiction, fantasy or mainstream flavor. Unlike many authors who hit the reader between the eyes on page one, Brumbaugh likes to introduce the characters, get the reader to know who they are reading about, learn to like or hate them and then tell the reader what happens to them.

David F. Balog was born, raised, and still lives in the Greater Cleveland area with his cat. He grew up in the libraries of Lakewood and Parma, and his babysitters were the creatures of the Cleveland Aquarium. Ever inquisitive, he dove deeply into science, paranormal studies, mathematics, and mythology at an early age, and never let go of the idea that they, and other studies, were all tightly connected.
