J.B. Collum lives in South Carolina with his wife and kids. For his day job, he writes software, but he hopes to ditch that and write full time if his wife will let him. He loves gadgets, reading good books, watching old movies and some new ones, vacationing at the beach and the mountains, as time and funds allow, eating great food in prodigious portions, and drinking beer and wine in moderate amounts. He has lived most of his life South Carolina with brief stays in Georgia and Hawaii.
