A physician himself, T.W. Ainsworth, like most Americans, couldn’t get the horrific events of September 11, 2001, out of his mind. But rather than simply dwell on it, he chose to write about it. Using the cathartic expression of fiction, The Architect of Revenge grapples with the common feeling of the day—the desire for revenge—and follows one man’s journey not only into the heart of al-Qaeda but into his own.

The author lives in both New Mexico and Florida and has learned much about faith, friendship, and forgiveness from the writing of this story.
