While in college, H. Frank Woods worked as an editorial artist for a large Texas newspaper. Later, while painting and living in Paris for several years he wrote travel articles for various newspapers back home and worked on a number of screenplays and movie treatments after returning to the States. In the late 1980’s he earned his SAG card and worked as an actor for several decades, mostly in television roles. During this time he wrote and produced several plays in Los Angeles while continuing to write travel articles for a local LA newspaper. Earlier, during his Army days he was selected to train at the Defense Atomic Support Agency at Sandia Base in Albuquerque and became a Nuclear Weapons Maintenance Specialist. During this time he had his own crew... working mainly on Nike-Hercules warhead systems. It was during his Army service that the idea for this book first took root. Although, it was many years before he had the time to write full time and complete the novel. Sequels are being planned for the Katy Cooper character and new adventure books are on the burner as well.
