Rod Haynes was born and raised in Rhode Island, where his passion for storytelling began long before his writing career. After earning degrees from Ripon College in Wisconsin and Boston University, he served as an officer in the United States Navy for ten years. His service took him across the globe during a defining era in history, shaping the foundation for much of his writing. An author of four other books and an avid photographer, Rod now lives in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife, Daria, and their four adult children.
In 1980, Rod Haynes faced an uncertain future in Seattle, struggling to find direction. Within six months, he stood on the Newport Navy base, commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy. Unauthorized Disclosures captures his decade at sea, marked by challenges, growth, and an inside look at life during the final years of the Cold War.
