About the Author
Mitchell Sanders is just another ordinary individual. As a scientist and
serial entrepreneur, in his spare time he enjoys reading and writing horror
books. His inspirations come from his lovely wife and best friend,
Elisabeth, and three children and three grandchildren, who encouraged him to
write and finish his first book. Mitch spent a good portion of his life
studying biomedical sciences and advanced wound care. He has a BA in biology
from Boston University with a minor in Latin language and literature, and an
MS in molecular biology and a PhD in biomedical sciences, both from
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). Mitch did two postdocs at the
Whitehead Institute / MIT, a world-renowned nonprofit research institution
dedicated to improving human health through basic biomedical research. Mitch
is a worldwide expert in wound repair and regeneration. Mitch was formerly
founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of a diagnostic company for
sixteen years and is currently the chief scientific officer (CSO) of an

achievement is having three amazing kids (Jake, Mia, and Ben), three
exceptional grandchildren (Emma, Corey, and Geo), and an endearing wife,
Elisabeth.
After attempting to sever all ties to her life as a hired assassin, a woman
struggles to understand who she has become. She knows she doesn’t want
to kill again—but it proves to be a difficult habit to break,
particularly in a world where people are after her and those she loves
most.
Adrift and disconnected, she meets an old woman: Imogen O’Brien, a
world-famous artist who has spent the last three decades living a
hermit-like existence on a rustic desert estate in a national forest. Imogen
invites her to stay and work for her, offering mentorship in return as the
woman deepens her own interest in art.
What quickly becomes apparent is that elements of Imogen’s past are
shrouded in danger, sorrow, and darkness. Rather than growing as an artist,
the former hitwoman soon finds herself enmeshed in a dangerous mystery with
strands that stretch decades into the past.

About the Author
Using a Pseudonym
After careful consideration, I made a conscious decison to represent myself
throughout the site with a pseudonym. I’m sure it defies conventional
publishing wisdom but it enables the preservation of some privacy. I am not
hiding. To the contrary, I am very accessible. I just want the ability to
step back.
My Writing Process
While there is keen interest in the book; there was equal curiosity my
writing and publishing process. That led to the inclusion of a section
“On Writing” with information on topics such as my writing
process, locations in the book, and copyright. This section will grow and
there will be more later on publishing and marketing.
Background
I was born and raised in south Florida and attended the University of
Florida graduating with bachelor of science degree. Following college, I
joined the navy and attended flight school in Pensacola, Florida. After
being designated a Naval Flight Officer, I reported to VF-124 in San Diego,
California and became an F-14 Tomcat Radar Intercept Officer. During a
twenty-year carrier, I accumulated over 2,200 flight hours and 336 carrier
arrested landings.
Subsequent to my navy career, I went to work for the Federal Aviation
Administration as an operations research analysis. This work included
unmanned aircraft systems research that answered questions about integration
of UAS with manned aircraft into the National Airspace System.
I now live in San Diego, California making frequent trips around the
country to explore our nations great national parks as I once did with my
older brother. I also enjoy spending time “yachting” on JBO –
Jerry’s Boat – a terrific, easy to handle, fourteen foot boat with a 40 hp
motor.

anonymous transactions. Special Agent Harris is assigned to find out who is
hiding behind that identity. Meanwhile, a powerful cybercriminal
organization is also searching for Nakamoto and will stop at nothing. Ada, a
young prodigy studying in Barcelona, and L30n, an elusive hacker, will be
swept up in this pursuit.
Reality and fiction intertwine in this techno-thriller that weaves a tense
plot exploring the power of money and technology.

EXCERPT
Note to the Reader
Dear Reader,
This book was crafted for the inquisitive seekers of meaning, for those who have sensed that there is more to life than meets the eye, those who believe that each of us holds the power to shape reality, both at the individual and societal levels.
If you have ever questioned what exists beyond the boundaries of empirical science or the constraints of rigid religious dogma, if you’ve felt the presence of a bridge that unites these belief systems, or if you’ve dared to contemplate an infinite reality, you’ve arrived at the right destination.
Threads of a Needle embarks on an enlightening journey, unveiling a captivating narrative that forges a visionary connection between the domains of science and nondenominational spirituality, often regarded as the mystical.
This bridge transcends the confines of age-old debates that have revolved around various ideologies. It does not align with one ideology or another. Instead, it stands resolute upon the very foundation of reality itself, a foundation woven from the intricate fabric of consciousness in all its magnificent and universal forms.
Amidst the backdrop of political strife and societal division, it is truly remarkable to observe a convergence taking place within our most respected academic institutions. The age-old wisdom once attributed to ancient sages is now harmoniously intertwining with the latest scientific breakthroughs, leaving us to ponder: Could it be that these seemingly divergent paths are, in fact, leading us to the same destination, albeit expressed through distinct lenses?
As we advance along the path of knowledge, these seemingly disparate worlds inexorably converge. What was once regarded as mystical is now emerging as a fundamental principle. This profound synthesis invites us to contemplate the rich tapestry of possibilities that extend beyond the confines of our physical existence.
Threads of a Needle embarks on a quest to explore the extraordinary power of belief and its ability to shape our experiential reality.
Welcome to a realm where curiosity, science, and spirituality gracefully intertwine, unveiling a fresh perspective on the universe, our role within it, and the boundless potential that lies ahead.
With warm regards,
DG Zitting
