Four-Year Writing Anniversary
Dear Reader,
Today marks my four-year anniversary as a full-time writer. On March 31, 2017, I retired as a supervisory special agent and became an author. Since that day, I have studied the craft and business of writing and learned my new trade. I have published fourteen essays, six nonfiction stories, two short stories, and one poem. I have also written books totaling over 600,000 words.
Black Rose Writing will publish my debut thriller, Furious: Sailing into Terror, on May 20, 2021. They will also publish my crime thriller, Unseen: Evil Lurks Among Us, on August 26, 2021. My literary agent has submitted my nonfiction book, Blood and Powder, to publishers. I have written four additional novels, which are in various stages of editing. I have also drafted several short stories and essays, which I’ll finish this year.
I want to thank my wife, family, friends, beta readers, literary agent, and publisher for their support. I write because I have stories I want to tell, and I’m eternally grateful people want to read them. Thanks for sticking with me. The best is yet to come!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
Electronics Engineer
