Стивен Темплин (родился в 1967 году в Сан-Габриэле, штат Калифорния )-это Нью-Йорк Таймс и международный автор бестселлеров. Он написал команду Seal Seal Six: Мемуары элитного снайпера Seal Seal и автором первого блеска Trident и из России без любви, первых двух книг в его серии Thriller Thriller. Templin - это «гибридный» автор, который поддерживает активные книжные контракты с ведущими издателями, такими как Simon & Schuster и St. Martin's Press, а также публикует самостоятельно.
Жизнь
[ редактировать ]Темплин начал писать в раннем возрасте, и в четвертом классе написал свой первый рассказ, приключение к собаке, которая спасала людей от огня. Находясь в начальной школе, Templin мечтал когда -нибудь стать романистом. [ 1 ] После средней школы он служил в военно -морском флоте США , и во время учебного лагеря он попробовал базовый подводной снос/обучение печати (бутон), но провал физический экран (PST). Находясь на тихоокеанском флоте Соединенных Штатов , он использовал свое свободное время, чтобы написать рассказы и тренироваться для Bud/s и, наконец, прошел PST. Он присоединился к классу Bud/S 143 и подружился с Говардом Э. Васдина (который позже стал Seal Team Six Sniper). Во время обучения Темплин получил травму и отправился обратно в класс 144, где он завершил Адную неделю, стал экспертом по винтовке и пистолетам, проводил снос и практиковал тактику небольшой единицы. Во время обучения на острове Сан -Клементе у него было ощущение, что карьера в тюленях не была его судьбой, и он ушел от тренировок. [2] After the Navy, Templin volunteered to become a missionary and served for two years in Japan.[1][2] Then he attended Brigham Young University-Hawaii, where he graduated magna cum laude.[3] He returned to Japan and became a tenured professor at Meio University, where he lectured for fourteen years and also studied the martial art aikido. In 2011, he received his PhD in education from Trident University International. Templin continued to write but mostly in the academic genre.[1][2] During a research trip, while in the LA International Airport, Templin picked up the book Blackhawk Down and noticed his friend Wasdin was involved in the Battle of Mogadishu. Because the book told little about the Navy SEALs' involvement, Templin looked forward to someday buying Wasdin's book.[1][2] Because no book had been published about Wasdin and his involvement in the Battle of Mogadishu, when Templin connected with him on Facebook, they decided to co-author Wasdin's biography, SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper. The book was scheduled for release in 2011. That same year, on May 2, Osama bin Laden was shot and killed by SEAL Team Six operators, resulting in much publicity for Templin, Wasdin, and the book.[1][2]
Critical reception
[edit]SEAL Team Six became a New York Times bestseller,[4] international bestseller, and received favorable reviews from various critics, including Michiko Kakutani, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic for the New York Times, who wrote that the book was "visceral and as action packed as a Tom Clancy thriller."[5] It was optioned to be adapted into a movie by Vin Diesel[6] and adapted into a Young Adult novel entitled I am a SEAL Team Six Warrior.[7] Templin's books have been translated into German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Danish, Japanese, Chinese, Hungarian, Vietnamese, and Thai.[8]
Author
[edit]After coauthoring SEAL Team Six and two novels, SEAL Team Six Outcasts and Easy Day for the Dead, Templin wrote Trident's First Gleaming, the first novel in his Special Operations Group Thriller series, about a SEAL Team Six veteran who becomes a pastor but is called back into the world of black ops by CIA friend Hannah Andrade. Joining them is a cantankerous Delta Force operator, Sonny Cohen.[9] When deciding whether or not to publish this new series with a traditional print publisher, Templin looked at the digital landscape, citing examples such as Kodak film, Tower Records, and Blockbuster video, and felt that too many traditional publishers lacked a strong strategy for the future of digital. He was also concerned about permanently signing over e-book rights to a publisher, so he partnered with agent Scott Miller and Trident Media Group literary agency and published the novel independently. This marked the beginning of Templin as a "hybrid" author, publishing books with both traditional print publishers and independently.[1]
