Loren Marsters and Gus Koernig became a writing team in 2013 when Loren sent Gus 28 pages of a spy novel he’d been trying to write for the last thirty years. That quickly turned into a labor of love (and occasional head-butting) they both call the most fun they’ve ever had writing.
From Simi Valley, California, Loren Marsters joined the Marine Corps in 1966 and did a tour in Vietnam before going back to college and parlaying his degree in communications into a career in advertising. Other than that, he leaves it up to the reader to figure out which aspects of Lonnie Tate, his protagonist, are autobiographical.
Loren and his wife, Kristina, live in Mesa, Arizona. Between them they have six children.
Gus Koernig, an award-winning journalist from San Francisco, reported from Russia during the first months after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In his 30-year career in TV news, he has been a reporter and anchor for a number of network-affiliated stations. Gus has ghost-written five books on five different topics.
The father of nine children, he and his wife, Glenda, live in Mesa,
Arizona, where they enjoy traveling and hiking.
