About The Author
Stephen Smith
Stephen Smith was born in Orlando, Florida, in January 1954 and spent his early childhood on a family dairy farm. After graduating from Oak Ridge High School in 1972, he studied marketing at Chapman University before launching an eight-year career in the food-distribution industry.
In 1980, Stephen and a high-school friend set sail on a year-long Caribbean adventure—an odyssey that sparked the first pages of what would become his debut manuscript. Two years later, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving with distinction until his honorable discharge in 1987.

About The Book
Flash News Alert
This is a story of a Veteran anchor Mark Jackson who had spent years as the polished face of a major prime-time newscast. Yet nightly, the teleprompter forced him to recite half-truths and partisan spin crafted in an executive suite more interested in ratings than reality. The dissonance finally became unbearable. One evening—abandoning the scripted rundown—Mark looked straight into the camera and admitted to millions of viewers that much of what they had been hearing was distorted, selectively edited, or flat-out false. He promised to bring receipts, naming lobbyists, producers, and politicians who shaped the network’s agenda.
