Justin Kinney is a doctoral student and graduate teaching associate at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. While his PhD studies are in political science and international relations, focusing on terrorism, he also has a Masters in Forensic Science from George Washington University.
However, Justin is also an author himself, so he totally understands how my brain was on information candy the entire time during our recording. Precipice (published under J. Robert Kinney) is a crime thriller where a young government agent is tasked with the job of solving a trail of murders. Precipice is available from Amazon.
