Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

After a brief tour in Mississippi, he transferred to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska where he began writing his fish-out-of-water column, Cheechako. He has since returned from Alaska and completed his tour with the Air Force. He lives in Tivoli, New York with his wife and son.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Praise for Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun:

"A warm, bright book about our coldest, darkest state, this comic gem reminds us how very little separates the brave from the stupid."
- Camden Joy, author of Palm Tree 13 and The Last Rock Star Book

"Anyone curious about how public affairs figures in military missions and omissions should enjoy Lt. Flynn's insider perspectives on the brass running Eielson Air Force Base, damage control in the wake of high-altitude mishaps, and war games terrorizing Arctic wildlife, not to mention the insights flowing from the cup of a bachelor-in-uniform contemplating Alaska's most elusive resource, women of the Last Frontier. Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is a hilarious romp through Interior Alaska and rates a medal for public disclosure, but the Air Force brass may lean toward a firing squad."
-Brian Patrick O'Donoghue, Alaska journalist, author of My Lead Dog was a Lesbian
