W. Craig Reed's father, William Reed, passed away on July 30, 2008. He was a retired mustang (up from the
ranks) Naval Intelligence officer and worked for eleven years during his career for the Naval Security Group and the National
Security Agency, primarily as a cryptanalyst and Turkish linguist. From 1962 to 1965 he also worked internationally for the
NSA on a top secret Cold War program called Boresight--the topic of a future book from W. Craig Reed. William was
a lecturer and briefer to the Department of Defense and various NATO intelligence agencies. At the onset of the Cuban Missile
Crisis, Reed briefed President John F. Kennedy regarding Project Boresight and the Soviet submarine threat. Several
experts concur that his knowledge and work on this project may have help diffuse a world war.
Following his navy retirement in 1967, William
earned a master's degree in history from the University of San Diego and, while working on his doctorate
in Spanish Borderlands History, was the co-founder and president of Frontier Heritage Press, Inc. of San Diego. He wrote biographies
of two famous South Western artists: Olaf Wieghorst, (foreword by Senator Barry Goldwater), Northland Press, Flagstaff, Arizona,
1969 (Wrangler award winner, National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Oklahoma City), and DeGrazia: The Irreverent Angel, Frontier Heritage
Press, 1971. San Diego.
After his
permanent retirement in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico in 1972, William wrote eight other books: The Art of Living in Mexico,
Wilkie Publishing Co., 1974, Los Angeles; An Open Book: John Huston (ghost writer), Alfred A. Knopf, 1980, New York; Crazy
Ivan with W. Craig Reed, Writers Club Press, Dec. 2000, Lincoln, NE; Mike Oliver´s Acapulco with Mike Oliver, Writers
Club Press, Feb. 2001, Lincoln,NE; Tarzan: My Father (with Johnny Weissmuller, Jr. and W. Craig Reed) ECW Press, Toronto,

Craig Reed's sister, P.L. Wallinger-Reed,
was born into this military family in San Diego, CA, and traveled a great deal internationally, living in such places
as Guam, Turkey, California, Arizona, and Maryland. Reed-Wallinger received a Bachelor of Science
degree from the University of Nebraska and a Masters of Curriculum and Instruction from Doane College and currently lives
in Nebraska. With the release of her first romantic suspense novel, Dark Secrets, Reed-Wallinger steps
into the literary arena alongside her father, William Reed, Sr.
 What do a ravaged roommate, a slimy crime boss, a stalker,
a sexy porn stud, and Becca's fantasy lover have in common? That's the hundred-thousand dollar question, and
one that Becca needs answered--fast! Hot, torrid sexual liaisons aren't Detective Rebecca William's style.
She prefers predictability, and emotions she can control. So why does her subconscious continually throw her into dreams
where she finds herself in the arms of a devastingly handsome fantasy lover? And why is their sexual union so crazy-wild
and uninhibited, it leaves her desperate for more? Despite this uncontrollable lapse however, she's still in control--sort
of--at least until her roommate, Angie, turns her world upside down by arranging a sexy makeover and a provacative photo shoot
for her untight friend. How was Becca to know the photographer is none other than Warren Cabella, the crime kingpin
she's investigating for illegal porn, drugs, and a brutal unsolved murder? Worse yet, if it can get any worse, the
porn star Angie's hired to seduce Becca is ex-fed Kaid Kincaid--Becca's fantasy lover!
 A young girl discovers the power of trust and friendship
in her journey to rebuild her life and learn to live--and love--once again. Emma is angry and hurt, and her bitterness
spews out in a myriad of ways, sparing no one. Moving from California to Nebraska may solve some of her mother's
problems, but in Emma's eyes, she's sunk about as low as she can possibly go. When a young man, Michael Hansen,
enters her life, it looks like things may get better for Emma, but her experience with the men in her life has left her distrustful.
She submerges her heart in resentment, refusing to acknowledge that her world could ever be anything remotely normal or happy
again. Can Michael's friendship and support help Emma learn to trust and open up? Emma's Choice introduces the reader to small town Nebraska, and to the people and life style that permeates rural
America. Through the pages of this novel, characters like Michael, Emma, Jessie, and Kelly, come to life.
Their humor and wit enchant and captivate the reader, and their courage will inspire anyone who reads their story.
