Jed O'Dea lives in the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. His exposure to the federal government as a contractor provides him the knowledge base to apply his technical, engineering, and business background to his novels. Jed's storytelling skills are complemented by his ability to weave fact with fiction such that the lines blur in a fun way. Jed believes that humor is an important element to his readers who, if like him, read novels as an escape from an otherwise much too serious world.
