Hostile Asset
Dane Winter is a soldier. A machine built for death. And he’s out for revenge.
Former US Marine Dane Winter has spent years leading a highly-skilled team of operatives for ‘Redwind’- a global private security conglomerate. His latest assignment in Mexico should have been routine: safeguard a high-ranking official against a potential attack from a local drug cartel. But nothing can prepare him for the slaughter that unfolds.
When the operation spirals into chaos, Dane Winter is left wounded and cut off from everything he knows. Rescued by Maria Pineda, a courageous local who risks everything to smuggle him to safety, the pair must go off-grid to survive.
But Dane Winter can’t be kept down for long, rising from the ashes driven by a need to expose the truth. The ultimate silent predator, every move he makes, and every life he takes brings him closer to a deadly confrontation.
Will it bring his downfall, or provide the vengeance he so desperately craves?

My passion for storytelling began as a child, sparked by the exploits of James Bond and the action films of the 80s and 90s. As I grew, I found inspiration in the literary works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Lee Child.
In 2024, I released my debut novel, Shadow Operative, the first in the Adam Knight Thriller series. What began as a single book has since grown into a fast-paced, globe-trotting series spanning five novels...and counting.
In June 2025, I launched a spin-off set in the same universe centering on Penumbra Division, starting with The Last Operator.
In early 2025, I signed a multibook deal with Boldwood Books to launch a brand-new series featuring Dane Winter, an elite ex-soldier turned freelance operative. The first book, Hostile Asset, was released in October.
My second Penumbra Division book will be available in Mid-November.
Off the page, I’m a devoted husband and proud father to a son and daughter. Without them, none of this would be possible.
