James Walter (J.W.) Krych had his first novel, From Neptune to Earth, as a collaborative work between him and David Cuciz, a member of the Swiss Army at the time. The Flight to Oz Book I: Arrival was his first-ever Science Fiction/Fantasy story based on the characters and world of L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz series. The Flight to Oz Book II: Anusha of Oz is a direct sequel to Book I and includes a new Original Character with Asperger’s Syndrome. Starting in 1988, James served in the US Military finally retiring as a CW2 in 2011. As a Warrant Officer, he was first assigned to the Joint Force Headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, preparing for natural and/or man-made disasters. Relocating to South Carolina, he became a member of the 218th MEB and finished his last two years of service on active duty orders as the Brigade S-6 IT Signal Warrant Officer for the CCMRF, the CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives) Consequence Management Response Force, Mission, where circumstances would have had to be terribly bad in order to be called up. He and his wife, Lori, and their two special-needs boys live in the Charleston, SC, area, along with their three cats.
