Author Biography

The author, F.A. Rawe, (Tony to his friends) has always taken the road less traveled. Born and raised in Kentucky, he joined the Army at seventeen where he worked for three different U.S. Intelligence agencies. During this time he lived in Japan, Turkey, Switzerland, Austria and Bangkok where this novel, Thai Watch, is set. After the military he combined his love of the outdoors and "old west" becoming a Colorado cattleman settling on a ranch in the high plains. Both careers have been filled with adventure lending firsthand experience with being shot, stabbed, set afire, re-arranged facial features, concussions and having both legs broken by an enraged bull. He half jokingly says his biography, if he ever writes one, would be titled after the road sign, "rough road ahead."
