"Gamers" is another historical fiction novel, while delivering the unexpected twists and turns that Padilla's fans have come to expect.

Padilla was raised in Red Bluff, California, and briefly lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, & Orange Counties. During his youth, many of his summers were spent in Ketchikan, Alaska.
His experience as an insurance claims adjustor, traveling throughout the US for disaster duty combined with handling improbable injuries took him into court rooms, requiring a deep understanding about the legal process. It's no surprise that his reading influences were early Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and John Grisham.
Padilla's previous works include "Rule One Twenty", "Michaso (the Korean word for crazy)" and "Tunnels" (2018 American Book Fest finalist Thriller: General category). The sequel to Rule One Twenty is titled "Sentinel Event" (2019 American Fiction Book award finalist Thriller General category). He also wrote "Gamers" and "Harpazo." Padilla is currently working on his seventh book "G-3: The Journey".
