About the Author
Sea stories, classified pasts, and alternate histories.
Alex Aaronson started telling sea stories around February 1992, when he reported to Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. Since then he's been entertaining anyone who would listen with his hyperbolic storytelling, a loose relationship with the facts, and a total disregard for modesty.
His naval service as a Cryptologic Technician, Interpretive involved classified materials and situations — so instead, Alex leans on his undergraduate degree in International Relations from the University of California and his law degree from Southern Methodist University. After having blown a major wad of cash on that fancy degree, he now spends his time making stuff up and hoping that you'll read it.
