About the Author
William (Maxon) Johnson
I am a writer of books and training materials for Military Intelligence Officers transitioning to the private sector. An early edition of my textbook, “101 Questions & Answers About Business Espionage – 2024 Edition” was used in the government DANTES program. New York College in Athens also used this textbook in one of their earlier teaching programs.
The latest edition of the above textbook is now for sale on AMAZON Books, along with three of my novels. (More about the novels, including excerpts, later)
AMAZON books has been good to me, but there are many AMAZON Authors. We all have to promote our own books anyway we can. Writing is a good life, but not necessarily a good way to make a living.
I am a researcher, beginning with my Doctoral Theses “Spies & Private Lives – The Evolution of Eavesdropping 1656 – 1982.” I begin most writing projects with the many on-line research facilities at the Library of Congress and was recently interviewed on Webex by two of the research librarians.
Writing is hard work, at least it is for me. I thank you all for the positive reviews, they mean a lot!
Thank you for buying my books!
