Biography
Limón retired from military service after twenty years in the United States Army, including ten years in South Korea in five tours starting [2][3] Similar to his main character Sueño, Limón extensively studied Korean language, taking night classes at the University of Maryland Far East Division alongside civilian workers and foreign spouses during his time in Korea and claiming he earned the most credits in the Korean language for a U.S.
soldier at the time. Unlike Sueño, he was never a CID officer and calls his career "exceedingly undistinguished," working in many odd jobs, writing for Stars and Stripes, serving as an artillery gun crew chief, working in military intelligence, managing an NCO club and even earning extra money by learning card counting.[4] He lives near Seattle.[5]
