Raymond L. Niblock is a practicing trial lawyer when he's not writing or flying airplanes. He draws from a rich military, law, and philosophy background to craft his debut novel, exploring a future where political and legal systems teeter on the brink of collapse. Educated at the New Mexico Military Institute and the University of New Mexico, his disciplined approach to life infuses his writing with power plays and tactical maneuverings. With a Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas School of Law, he brings raw authenticity to his work as a practicing lawyer, navigating the corridors of political and legal schemes. Raymond, an astute observer of contemporary socio-political discourse, invites readers to explore thought-provoking "what ifs" in his stories. He resides with his husband, Jesse, in Northwest Arkansas, where they share a love for flying, travel, and adventures with their two dogs.
