Justin I. Paquette is a full-time certified police officer in the State of New Hampshire, bringing over two decades of real-world experience in law enforcement and public service to the page. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he holds a bachelor's degree in legal studies with a minor in political science, specializing in public law. He lives in Massachusetts with his wife of over twenty years, their daughter, and three rescue dogs. When he's not writing or reading thrillers, he can be found rucking with his dogs or on the mats as a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Grounded in discipline, fueled by imagination, and inspired by the intersection of myth and modern conflict, Operation Trojan War is his debut novel.
