Bart Stark is a U.S. Army paratrooper and a combat veteran, who later entered a life of crime as a prosecutor and defense attorney. After leading a vagabond life which took them across America and Europe, Bart and his wife Brenda settled in the mountains of Panama.

When not working his day job, he hikes his dogs in the forest and daydreams dystopian futures for his characters. Wolves at the Gate is Bart’s first novel. The idea for Wolves came to him during the Persian Gulf War, when he surveyed the burning hellscape of war-ravaged Kuwait and wondered: What if this happened back home?
