A Message And Special Offer From Awarding-Winning Author Craig O. Thompson

Bio: An Award-Winning Author

Craig O. Thompson, was awarded the International
Benjamin Franklin Awards™ Silver Award for “Best
New Voice--Fiction”--for OMAR--his novel on global
terrorism.

He is a media consultant and expert on international
terrorism, CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological,
Nuclear and Exploives Warfare) also known as NBCRW
(Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, and Radiological
Warfare), small business contingency and disaster
recovery planning, and is communications director for
the International Association for Counterterrorism &
Security Professionals (IACSP).

A captivating platform speaker and educator, Craig O.
Thompson has researched terrorism for over nearly two
decades. He offers his insights on college / university
campuses and at conventions, tradeshows and
workshops.  Subjects range from terrorism and CBRNE
to how to practice better preparedness in order to
protect our nation's families and citizens. Thompson also speaks on Business
Continuity & Disaster Recovery Planning.

He is available for keynote speeches, workshops, lectures, book signings
and readings.

Incredible Ironies
August 11, 2001--exactly one month to the day prior to the Attack on America--C-SPAN
broadcast his keynote speech, "The Terrorist Cell Game," delivered at the Hyatt Regency, Washington, DC, on August 9th. In his address, Thompson warned of Osama bin Laden, bioterrorism, failed mock disasters, and a poorly prepared public health system and infrastructure. He also warned of coming attacks on our homeland, that would be led by suicide bombers from bin Laden's al Qaeda. And he spoke of how our “first responders” could become our “first martyrs.”

September 10, 2001, KFI-640 AM, Los Angeles, radio talk-show host, Lee Klein, broadcast a live 3-hour interview with Mr. Thompson, where he predicted future attacks, spoke of bin Laden, the Taliban, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, inadequate border patrol, biowarfare and the need for "better grass-roots intelligence." Little did anyone understand the timing and methods of the attacks that would be perpetrated the next day. In fact, one caller to the talk-show said, “You are a right-wing wacko...we have more to fear from (Oakland) Raider fans than bio-weapons” and that “...it’s all contrived to give us something to worry about.”

Thompson responded that the caller was "living in the same ether as most members of Congress...believing we no longer have an enemy following the fall of the former Soviet Union."

The Early Years
A graduate of Northern Arizona University, Craig holds a B.S. and M.A. in Education from the College of Education at NAU.

Thompson, has led an exciting, eclectic life--from the moment he was accepted into the U.S. Peace Corps -- Project Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) as the first 18-year old volunteer to serve overseas, to the years he worked for Lucille Ball at Desilu/Paramount Television. While at Desilu, he worked with various pilots and series shows such as the original "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible," "Mannix," and "The Lucy Show," among others.  He was also Producing Artistic Director for the Lucille Ball Studio Theater.

As an instructor on the Navajo Reservation, he co-directed the Navajo-Hawaii Cultural Exchange --along with his partner Ed McGrath (who originated the same project in Hawaii).  Their educational exchange program for children was later honored in Congress and recognized twice in the "U.S. Congressional Record.

A year after returning from his volunteer duties with Project Ceylon, Craig was honored with a special invitation to Washington, D.C.--by the Vice President--where he was able to speak before the first-ever gathering of returned Peace Corps volunteers at the U.S. State Department. Several years later he was recognized by the Carnegie Hero Fund, for "courage in the rescue of accident victims," after he helped rescue children from a burning car just before it exploded.

Thompson has been writing for over thirty-eight years. He first started with poetry and lyrical pieces--encouraged by the late Poet Laureate and Pulitzer prize-winning Poet, Gwendolyn Brooks, and by Composer-Pianist, Roger Williams. Further encouragement came from comedienne, Lucille Ball. Years of writing copy for regional and national advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns -- for public and private sector businesses -- rounded out his ability to express his ideas.

In his early speaking career, as a member of the National Speaker's Association and International Platform Association, he was published in an anthology titled "Star Spangled Speakers." Following on the heals of these experiences, he moved on to larger literary pursuits.

OMAR and Other Projects
Craig O. Thompson's first book--OMAR: A Novel--is actually his second. The first--a science-fiction fantasy thriller--was put on hold when the idea developed for his thriller, OMAR. Now, he is re-exploring the inner-workings of the science fiction plot and gathering research for at least three more novels in treatment stage. He is also adapting a screenplay and has initiated two non-fiction works in the counter-terror and business disaster recovery fields.

He divides his time between writing, skiing, and spending time with his family. His ultimate goal--when not writing--includes establishment of the St. Jude Foundation of Hope...financed through revenue from his books, keynotes and other activites. The foundation is currently in the formative stages of operation.

Mr. Thompson appreciates constructive comments and views about his writings from readers.
