I'm excited to share that my debut military thriller, Bloodline of Redemption, is now available for preorder! The official release date is September 17, 2025, but you can lock in your guaranteed price today for both the paperback and ebook editions. Hardcover and audiobook versions will be launching later this year—stay tuned!

Bloodline of Redemption

A rogue Russian submarine.
A buried Cold War vendetta.
A hunted American aircrew.

From the depths of the Pacific to the icy peaks of the Cascades, Bloodline of Redemption is a high-stakes military thriller that fuses real-world naval operations, covert missions, and unforgiving wilderness survival. When elite forces collide and past military actions resurface, one man must confront the shadows of war to protect everything he loves—and stop a Russian strike on U.S. soil before it’s too late.
