About the Author
A little about myself. I was born in the United States, grew up in Australia, and educated (sort of) in Britain, worked in Canada, but now live in New York. For several years, I was a journalist but went into the History Business around the time my book, "Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring," first appeared. It's since been used as the basis for the AMC drama series, "Turn: Washington's Spies," for which I also served as writer and producer. I always like to hear from readers, so if you have any questions or comments or requests, please feel free to contact me, either by email (www.alexrose.com) , on Twitter (@AlexRoseWriter) , or through The FaceBook (Alex.Rose.Writer) .
