Mr. Symonds is an award-winning journalist who published his first novel in the summer of 2015. "My Father's Son" is the story of a young man whose father, a decorated Navy SEAL, is killed in combat in Afghanistan. His second novel, "Enemy in the Wire," features some of the same characters from "My Father's Son," but is more of a SpecOps thriller. Former Navy SEAL Christopher Mark McKinley worked with Mr. Symonds extensively on the book. It is due out in spring, 2017.
