Tim Tigner is an author whose background is as fascinating as his novels. Tigner began his career in Soviet Counterintelligence with the US Army Special Forces. That was back in the Cold War days when, "We learned Russian so you didn't have to". He later led prominent multinational medical companies, worked with cosmonauts on the MIR Space Station, chaired the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and helped write Russia's first law on healthcare.All of that rich experience makes it into his throughly enjoyable novels full of intrigue, a touch of sci fi and skilled asassins.

We had a fun conversation about writing, spying, and how he's spending his mornings these days.
