Fast-Paced Thrillers Under the Tree 🎁
Hi everyone!
I hope this finds you well and getting into the Christmas spirit!
As we head into the holiday season, I wanted to drop a quick reminder that my books make great Christmas gifts for the action-lover, thriller reader, or even someone who just wants to be transported to another world for a few hours.
Here are a few of my most popular titles — many of which people say are perfect stocking stuffers or “just one more chapter” reads late at night:
Sold Out — The first in the Nick Woods sniper / CIA thriller series. Nick Woods is a former Marine sniper, and Sold Out dives into a conspiracy that shakes national security.
Mexican Heat — Book 2 in the Nick Woods series.
Afghan Storm — Book 3, with more tension, action, and heart-pounding stakes.
Nigerian Terror — Book 4 in the Nick Woods arc.
Ukrainian Fire: — Book 5 in the Nick Woods arc.
Take Down — The first in my Detective Danny Acuff series — a Force Recon Marine turned detective, now tracking dark secrets in a small town.
Gravel Road — The second Danny Acuff book, with even more mystery, action, and moral complexity.
Little Man, and the Dixon County War — A Western that brings in historical conflict, gunfights, and character-driven storytelling.
Soldier On — A war novel set in World War II, focused on survival, courage, and sacrifice.
Hill 406 — A blistering, ground-level war novel set in Helmand Province where two Marine squad leaders forge an unbreakable bond amid chaotic command, deadly Taliban attacks, and desperate fights for survival.
Hell in the Mountains: A blistering, high-stakes mystery-thriller in which former Army Ranger-turned-PI Dolan races through the rugged North Carolina mountains to find a missing teenage girl amid corruption, danger, and a chilling clock that never stops ticking.
Why they make great Christmas gifts:
Fast-paced — All of my books are written to pull readers in, and once they start, it’s hard to put them down.
Variety of genres — Whether someone loves military thrillers, detective stories, or historical fiction, there’s something here.
Well-reviewed — My books average 4+ stars on Amazon.
Accessible — They’re available on Amazon, and you can easily pick an e-book or physical copy depending on what the recipient likes.
A little Christmas note from me:
Writing these stories has been one of the greatest joys of my life — and knowing that someone might curl up by the fire and read one of my books as part of their holiday tradition means a lot.
If you’re gifting to friends, family, or even fellow readers, thank you for thinking of my work.
