Researching and writing about the U.S. Intelligence Community is my passion!
As a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), I attend seminars and discuss intel matters with professionals in and around Washington DC. I thrive on these experiences, which afford me the opportunity to write not only newspaper Op-Eds and Commentaries about the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), but to fulfill my ultimate dream of publishing authentic and entertaining spy thrillers- the "Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster" series!
I consult with 27 intelligence scholars and field operatives (retired and still active), in order to write articles that are genuine and factual. For example, six articles were written after I spoke with Harry Mason, who is an expert on foreign and domestic intelligence and retired from the CIA after 35 years of service. Mason earned both the prestigious CIA Intelligence Medal of Merit and the National Intelligence Medal Of Achievement awards.
I also gained insight into the workings of CIA operatives like Valerie Plame by interviewing a classmate of hers, James Marcinkowski. The movie "Fair Game" was made about her undercover leak by individuals in the President George W. Bush administration. Marcinkowski and Plame trained together at "The Farm", the mysterious CIA operative-training school.
I have published over a dozen editorials in the Gannett Newspaper Network of Central Ohio, the Tallahassee Florida Democrat, Coshocton Tribune, Zanesville Gazette, Fremont News-Messenger, Port Clinton News Herald, the Ashland, Oregon newspapers. the Lifestyle 2000 magazine, and in California's The Press-Enterprise newspaper serving Los Angeles and San Diego Counties.
