David H. Brown was an Ohio newspaper reporter for nearly 15 years before beginning a 24-year career as a government public information officer. Retiring in 1991, he became a community college adjunct professor. His first book, which came out in 1995, was titled I WOULD RATHER BE AUDITED BY THE IRS THAN GIVE A SPEECH. After 9/11, he wrote two books critical of current airport security procedures — NINE/ELEVEN and AIRLINE PASSENGER SCREEING HAS BECOME A FEMA-TYPE SNAFU — based on having been the press officer for the original FAA anti-skyjacking task force during 1969-70. Since then, he has written two novels based on his work experiences — OPERATION RED HERRING and THE MEMORIAL/DECORATION DAY WAR.
