W. D. Marcum is a Navy veteran, practicing attorney, devoted husband, and proud father of four. Drawing inspiration from his real-life adventures—both in and out of the courtroom—he writes across genres, from gripping legal thrillers to heartwarming and hilarious children’s books. He is the author of the Restatement of Murder series, a critically acclaimed legal thriller collection praised for its sharp wit, authentic courtroom drama, and morally complex protagonists, and the techno-espionage thrillers The Sovereignty Circuit and The Umbra Cipher, tense, atmospheric tales of AI, betrayal, and global intrigue that blend the moral ambiguity of John le Carré with the speculative vision of Philip K. Dick and William Gibson. His experience as a lawyer brings a gritty realism and strategic nuance to every page. With advanced degrees from institutions including MIT Sloan, King’s College London, the University of Arizona, the University of London, the University of Alabama School of Law, West Virginia University College of Law, and Marshall University, W. D. Marcum’s education spans business management, law, international security, and forensic accounting. His studies in espionage, surveillance, AI, technology, and cybersecurity—paired with global legal and business training—bring rare authenticity and depth to his storytelling. When he’s not writing legal fiction and techno-thrillers, W. D. Marcum dives into the world of children’s literature with equal passion. His beloved The Adventures of Spike and Whiskers series, Hermie & Kai, The Magical Bedtime Balloon Ride, The Toad and the Moonlight Tune, The Snaggletooth Snap, The Night The Moon Forgot Me, Phoebe the Noodle Noodler, The Keeper of Quiet, and Blue Goo Poos Too are all inspired by the antics, personalities, and pets of his own children. His stories blend humor, heart, and imagination to delight young readers and parents alike. W. D. Marcum credits much of his success to his amazing wife—his editor, first reader, and greatest supporter.
