Carey McWilliams Carey McWilliams lives in Fargo, ND with his wife, Victoria, his retired guide dogs, Tariff and Delbert, and their cat, Midnight. Blinded by age ten due to a late-blooming birth defect, he was forced to break through the roadblocks that both his blindness and poverty created. In spite of this, as a teenager, he joined an USAF cadet's auxiliary at the tail end of the Cold War. There he had the opportunity to co-pilot many small aircraft and taste military life at the rattling of an M-16. Before exploring the undersea world of whales, he finished his training with weapons through an Army ROTC Pistol Marksmanship course from which he received a perfect score. Carey completed his Masters of Mass Communication and his Bachelors in University Studies with minors in Biology, English, Mass Communication and Veterinary Science. He is also an accomplished scuba diver and enjoys writing science fiction/horror. Not bad for a man who, when born was prevented from leaving the hospital until his mom put down a deposit and arranged a payment schedule.
