Author Nathaniel Gunn, who also writes books about politics in the Far East under the penn name Nathan Cannon, resides on Cedar Creek Lake when he isn't touring promoting his books.

The author, his mother and three siblings lived in a prisoner of war camp in The Phillipines operated by the Japanese while his father fought in the war. The Japanese held the author for three years while he was aged 11 to 14.
Gunn published the book about his father in 2004. It includes letters, documents and stories about the history of World Warr II, such as the bombing and capture of Manila.
Gunn was raised in the Far East, educated in The Phillipines and was involved in most of the revolutions in the Far East from 1947 to 1990, according to his biography. Books written under his pen name include "All That Glitters" and "Where the Hell is Indonesia Anyway?"
