Welcome to my blog! 

Welcome to the ramblings and ruminations of the espionage novelist, Mark A. Hewitt.   The title of my blog is from the title of my first book: Special Access.  If anyone has been paying attention to politics recently, something interesting in the world of the intelligence community, specifically "special access programs," has been in the news.   A certain Presidential candidate was found to have "special access program" materials on her homebrew, illegitimate, illegal and unsecured email server.   If you or I were to have set up such a system and the FBI found out, please know you or I would be dragged screaming and kicking from our house or place of work and thrown into the deepest bottomless pit they could find at the local Federal Penitentiary.   You or I would be lucky if they fed us....food.   

Special access program information is never discussed outside of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility; for those outside the intelligence community, these facilities are called a SCIF.   Within the federal government of the United States of America there are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular classified information.  99% of the population know these to be a type of "black" project.   These are the most secret of the secret programs.  Unauthorized disclosure of a special access program usually results in the death or capture of one of our spies.  

Special Access is a story about one such special access program.  The CIA has a file that proves the President is not the man who he claims to be.  

So, welcome to my blog!  Find out what is running through an old pilot's head.  And check out my books.
