The second instalment, Ready, Aye, Ready, expands the conflict into the Arctic, where sovereignty is at stake and a gripping naval showdown unfolds. This book also introduces the United Kingdom into The Quiet War, deepening the series' geopolitical scale.

I’m also working on Vanguard Ranger, the origin story of Pat Sanders, a U.S. Army Ranger whose past missions are more connected to The Quiet War than anyone realizes. His story brings the American special operations perspective into the series, adding another layer to the conflict.

Additionally, Veil of Innocence follows CSIS officer Emily Foster’s first mission, diving into the world of espionage and intelligence gathering. Both Vanguard Ranger and Veil of Innocence were originally part of Canadian Front, but due to length, they were expanded into standalone companion stories that enrich the characters and the broader Quiet War universe.

The Quiet War is a military-political thriller series that unravels a global conspiracy to dismantle the Western world—both from within and through direct confrontation. Blending special operations, conventional warfare, espionage, cyber warfare, and geopolitical intrigue, it delivers a high-stakes, realistic portrayal of modern conflict and the covert battles shaping global power.

Each book in The Quiet War series builds upon the larger conflict, but I write them in a way that allows new readers to jump in at different points. While Canadian Front lays the foundation, future instalments will explore new theatres of war and introduce fresh perspectives. Having said that, I highly recommend you read them all!

While fictional, my stories are grounded in real-world military strategy, intelligence operations, and geopolitics, shaped by 23 years of military service—12 as an intelligence officer. I strive for authenticity, drawing from real tactics, cutting-edge technology, emerging threats, and the complexities of modern global conflict. 

I draw from military doctrine, open-source intelligence reports, real-world conflicts, historical case studies, and my own experience to ensure accuracy. I also incorporate insights from experts in special operations, intelligence, and national security to maintain realism in both tactics and geopolitical strategy.

Once I have an idea, I know where the story starts and how it ends, but I rarely have a rigid plan for how I’ll get there. Instead, I focus heavily on building the protagonist and key characters, developing them until they feel like real people. From there, I let them take control.

Often, when I start writing a chapter, I don’t know exactly how it will unfold—I only know what needs to happen. I begin writing, and the characters tend to lead the way, shaping the narrative based on who they are and how they would naturally react. Staying true to character is one of my biggest priorities. I constantly ask myself: How would Matt Lion handle this situation? What would Sarah Bouchard’s response be? I apply this same process to every character, ensuring their decisions and actions feel authentic.

In The Quiet War series, the sheer number of dynamic characters introduces variables that are impossible to plan around perfectly. The result is a story that evolves as I write, growing in ways I didn’t always anticipate. This approach makes writing unpredictable—but that’s what makes it exciting. While it’s not the most efficient or organized method, I do find it to be the most fun. In a way, I kind of feel like the reader as I’m writing because I never know exactly how the story will turn out.

Yes, I plan to release The Quiet War series in audiobook format. The biggest challenge is the production cost of high-quality narration, so audiobooks won’t be available immediately.

While The Quiet War is my primary focus, I have some cool ideas for an Epic Fantasy series that I may explore in the future. I have also written extensive Star Wars fan fiction culminating in two full series worth of novels that I haven’t released anywhere yet. I’m still holding on to hope that they may one day get published under the official banner, but if that doesn’t end up happening, I will release them for free on my website.
