Marc Tyrrell is a recovering academic who still reads too much.  As an Anthropologist who looks at how people make sense of their world, he has studied everything from cults to military / intelligence operations over the past 5000 years.  Outside of his academic writing, which people are still trying to make sense of, he has written stories in the 1632-verse and OP ED pieces for several publications including War On The Rocks.  When he's not writing, he's usually singing obscure music from the 16th through 18th centuries or trying out new recipes.
