Stan Mitchell

Stan R. Mitchell writes action-packed thrillers, which readers have compared to the works of Vince Flynn, Stephen Hunter, and Lee Child.

Mitchell is uniquely qualified to become one of the next hottest, action-fiction writers in America, having the background of:

[A] A strong writing history, topped off with a journalism degree and 10+ years of relentless, deadline-required writing in the newspaper business.

[B] A real-world, combat experience. Mitchell, a former USMC Sergeant, earned a Combat Action Ribbon in '97 while serving in the infantry with Alpha Co., 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. (Operation Silver Wake.) Besides this mission into harm's way, his platoon also served as the Covering Force for the elite Marine Force Recon Unit that deployed with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Special Operations Capable (MEUSOC). In addition to working with Marine Force Recon perfecting Direct Action missions, his platoon had the privilege to operate with the Navy Seals, training at the art of fast roping and ship takedowns.

Mitchell lives in Oak Ridge, Tenn., with his wife Danah, and when he's not working at the newspaper that he started nine years ago (The Oak Ridge Observer), he's usually either writing, working out, or practicing Isshin-Ryu Karate.
