Moran is now a member of the state and federal bar and practices law in Somerville, Massachusetts. His book is entitled Trooper.

Dillard H. Hughes started his career in law enforcement with the University of Georgia Campus Police in 1983. He went on to serve as a patrolman for the former City of Athens police Department. In 1987, Dillard joined the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department in Lawrenceville, Georgia where he has served for the last 14 years. He is currently a Lieutenant and former Watch Commander. Most recently, he has been assigned as an operations supervisor in the Detention Division on the evening watch. Dillard Hughes attended the University of Georgia and majored in English/Education. His career began as a way to pay for his education as a teacher but turned into a full time job that has now spanned over eighteen years.

Dillard H. Hughes’ novel, The Nash Chronicles, is about “A seventeen-year veteran with the Athens Police Department is brutally murdered while investigating an open door at a closed business. Lieutenant Alton Nash investigates and uncovers corrupt officers, a nasty drug lord, and does battle with a Mafia assassin.”

Will Cordes is a retired captain from the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office (Georgia) and a retired state agent with the Montana Department of Justice. He is a graduate of the 170th session of the FBI Academy and has written for The Single Shot Exchange, The Police Times and Tactical Shooting magazines. Will Cordes is the author of two novels, A Man Adrift and A Step to Far.

According to the book description of Will Cordes’ A Step to Far, “Matheson Draper ruled a global business empire. His shiny black trucks, planes, and ships traveled the far reaches of the world. A remorseless sexual deviate, he went to great lengths to promote and expand his corporate interests. But sometimes a man's power can corrupt more than just himself. Todd Milton, state agent for the Montana Criminal Investigation Bureau, was no stranger to murder investigations, but who would want to kill one of the world's richest men? Or maybe it might be easier to figure out who wouldn't.”
