Do you want your #thrillers technically accurate or just plausible enough? I obsess over getting the hacking and tech details right, but I genuinely want to know, does it matter to you, or does it pull you out of the story? #WritingCommunity #AmReading #ThrillerBooks #WritersLift #Bookstodon

Morning thought: After 30 years in tech I write thrillers about the tech threats that keep me up at night. The best part? My debugging skills translate perfectly to plot holes. The worst? I can’t unsee the vulnerabilities everywhere. #FridayVibes #WritingCommunity #CyberSecurity

Grew up blue collar Detroit, 80s kid who escaped into Clancy and Gibson. Now I write the thrillers I needed back then, but with actual tech that works the way tech works today, not Hollywood magic. 30 years in the industry helps with that.

Been thinking a lot about how “free” tech watches us… and honestly, even after 30 years in tech, it bothers me how we’re the product and don’t even know it. If you’ve ever wondered what you’re giving up for convenience… this one’s for you.

One more reader staying up too late because they need to know what happens next. One more review that says “this mattered to me” ... “this opened my eyes to keep my family family safe.” That’s why I write these books. This is the dream, and you’re making it real. Thank you! 🙏🏻 😃

Prompt Execution is Book 2 in my Aegis techno-thriller series I hope to write for years. This is the dream. You’re making it real.

Launch day was amazing, but it isn’t about sales numbers. It’s about one more person discovering Jordan and Alex.

I spent 20 years in tech before I knew what I really wanted: To tell stories. To create characters people care about. To explore the dark side of tech and find the light. Yesterday, PROMPT EXECUTION launched.

Confession: I wrote a thriller so technically accurate that I made myself paranoid.
Every vulnerability in PROMPT EXECUTION is real. Every exploit works.
Maybe I should've stuck to fantasy novels.
