Steve Elam hails from the Grand Rapids area of Michigan. He joined
the US Navy in 1976, serving as a technician specializing in
antisubmarine warfare and as a member of a nuclear weapons handling
team. After his Navy service, Steve served more than 25 years in
various capacities for the House of Representatives and with the
lobbying firm of Chiechi & Associates. Steve and his lovely
wife of 31 years reside in the Seattle area.   BACKSLIDE is
the first book in Elam’s “Enemies Within the Gates” series. The
story launches the thrilling exploits of ex-Navy SEAL Billy Ray
Jenkins in his war against a ruthless international drug cartel.
  After ten years in a Texas prison for a crime he didn't
commit, Billy Ray returns home to begin a new life, but is met with
tragedy instead––his brother's death. With the help of a cocky FBI
agent, a sexy redhead, and a mysterious government operative
code-named Dolittle, Billy Ray discovers the enemies within the
gates led by a sadistic killer and MUCH more...a super-form of
methamphetamine, called Rapture, a drug so terrible millions more
could die! Billy Ray must overcome impossible odds and defeat the
deadliest threat to ever face our nation! The clock is ticking on
America’s doom. Will it be too late?   BACKSLIDE is available
