"Chris Grall is a retired US Special Forces team sergeant with 26 years of service. His first opportunity to be a technical advisor for writers came in 2007 with the book Contagious, by Scott Sigler. Since then he's shared his knowledge of firearms at several conferences and provided technical and tactical advice to many authors.His book, Trigger Guard: A Writer's Guide to Firearms, was inspired by two closely timed events: a conversation on the correct way to express caliber in fiction, and a one-hour session he presented at ThrillerFest, Firearms for Writers.What seemed in the moment as an easy task, turned into a year-long project that included research, graphics production, writing, and learning the ins and outs of self-publishing.Chris swore he would never write a book. The universe heard that and laughed. He's written a novel in the genre of speculative fiction, for which he's trying to find a home. That one may go the self-publishing route as well. Time will tell.He has another work in progress, but those details will have to wait. #1 New York Times best-selling author Scott Sigler is the creator of fifteen novels, six novellas and dozens of short stories. He gives away his stories as weekly, serialized, audiobooks, with over 40 million episodes downloaded.Scott launched his career by releasing his novels as author-read podcasts. His rabid fans were so hungry for each week's episode that they dubbed themselves the ""Junkies."" The first hit is always free ...He is also is a co-founder of Empty Set Entertainment, which publishes his Galactic Football League series. He lives in San Diego, CA, with his wife and wee little Dogs of D��m."
