writer | storyteller

Teague de La Plaine's vivid storytelling is based on diverse experiences as an intelligence officer in the US Marines, A Merchant Marine captain, and a world adventurer. His style is steeped in Kilpling, Hemingway, and Tolkien. His stories are like a bridge over brackish waters. On one side stand the masters of spycraft and suspense: Fleming, Le Carre, Ludlum, and Marcinko. On the other, masters of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror: Rice, King, Heinlein, and Lewis.

From sailing to unconventional warfare to personal adventure, Teague has always strived for manly and gentlemanly competence. He maintains his own writer website (teaguedelaplaine.com) where he mostly complains about the work of writing and a Facebook page (facebook.com/tcldelaplaine) where he flaunts his "life is good" worldview. You can also follow him on Twitter @tcldelaplaine.

When he isn't out saving the world all by himself or writing prolifically, Teague spends time with his wife and two children on their sailboat cruising the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay in preparation for their eventual circumnavigation.
