About the Author
Sailor-Scholar
Don Inbody brings the precision of academic scholarship and the discipline of naval service to everything he creates — from rigorous political science and historical research to page-turning fiction.
His academic work, anchored by The Soldier Vote, explores the relationship between military service and democratic participation. His planned update of absentee voting history, Voting From Afar, is in development. His upcoming novel, Wake of the Falcon, brings the Navy, History, and communications to light.
When not writing, Don can be found behind the microphone at his amateur radio station ADØK.
