This is just a quick reminder that the first book of my new series, Shadows Over Europe: Sparks, is now out in the public. This is my first foray into the political thriller genre and I hope that I’ve done it justice. I’m not sure as the usual combat scenes are scattered throughout instead of constant. If you get around to it, please let me know what you think of it.

I have also just finished the rough draft of the second book in the series and put it out for editing. I don’t have a publication date as yet, but hoping to have it ready by the end of the month. The audiobook for Sparks is currently being narrated by Mark Gagliardi so it shouldn’t be too much longer before it’s ready as well.

I hope you have an enjoyable and safe New Year’s, and that your upcoming year is a prosperous one!

This is just a quick note letting you know that Shadows Over Europe: Sparks has been released. It’s the first book in a new political/military thriller series covering Europe’s reaction to a Russian offensive in Ukraine. I truly hope you enjoy the read if you get to it, and I want to thank you so much for your support!

Europe believes it can stand apart from the war in Ukraine.

It’s wrong.

Russian forces threaten Kharkiv once more and fear spreads through the European Union. Quiet decisions are made behind closed doors and the war creeps westward without ever being declared.

In Brussels, a senior EU official fights to hold a fragile union together, but an unknown adversary lurks in secret, seeking to fracture their unity. In Ukraine, a medic races to save lives as cities shake under bombardment. And in the shadows, a covert operative leads a team behind enemy lines, seeking to slow Russia’s advance.

Each strike brings the conflict closer. Each secret makes it harder to stop.

Sparks is a gripping geopolitical thriller about how modern wars really start — not with speeches or votes, but with silence, shadows, and the first irreversible act.

This is just a quick reminder that the first book in my new series is out for pre-order, with a 29 December release date. I truly hope you enjoy this new book and that you have an amazing Holiday Season. And thanks for all of your support.

The first book of my new series, Shadows Over Europe: Sparks, is now out for pre-order with a December 26, 2025 delivery date. This series is a different series for me as I’m venturing momentarily into the world of a political/military thriller. It has certainly been a different experience writing for me. I have to admit that it was hard sitting back down at the keyboard after having explored the mountains for most of the summer. At the same time, it was easier taking some time off. The words flowed a little easier and I found myself enjoying telling a story a touch more. At any rate, I truly hope you enjoy the story when it’s released and thank you so much for all of your support. I hope you have a fantastic holiday season.

Sorry for the seeming duplicate post, mistakes were made. I forgot to add a link to the pre-order.

Tipping Point: Dominoes, the 10th and final book in the series, is now out for pre-order! It will be released on Friday, July 27.

This has been an interesting series to write as world events keep catching up to what I’ve put down on paper. I’ve had to go back several times to rewrite scenes because I read about them upon waking. And now with Israel and Iran, I could just scream. I can’t go back and do any rewrites right now as it’s already finished, but at least the events are a little different. Well, I had to unload a bit and now I’m done.

I truly hope you enjoy this finale and thank you so much for your support throughout the years!

Hopefully, the rough draft will be completed in the next two weeks or so. And then that lovely editing process. I don’t have a publication date as yet, but again, hopefully soon. Enjoy the rest of your week and upcoming weekend!
