About the Author
J. S. Fugate grew up in Ohio and now lives in Colorado, where he owns several businesses with his wife — who is, by every objective measure, the more impressive of the two. He spent four years as a linguist in the Air Force, which taught him to listen carefully and talk less, a lesson he has applied inconsistently ever since. Past Saving is his first novel. He is cautiously optimistic about the second.
