A warning:
Don't mess with Quinn's friends.
If you do, he'll find out.
And when he finds out, he'll find you.
No matter who you are.
No matter where you go.

Because even when Quinn's off the clock, there's work to be done.

OFF THE CLOCK is a seven thousand word short story, featuring the protagonist of the award winning Jonathan Quinn Thriller series.

Brett Battles

Brett Battles

Brett Battles crafts thrillers that don’t just chase the next plot twist—they explore the shadows where espionage, identity, and morality intertwine. Growing up in Southern California, he found his storytelling voice early, convincing his sixth-grade teacher to let the whole class dive into his short stories. That early spark evolved into a writing career spanning over forty novels, with characters and plots that grip readers with their complexity and emotional depth.

His debut introduced Jonathan Quinn, a freelance operative navigating a perilous world of secrets, setting a tone that defines Battles’ work: sharp, layered, and relentless. Awards like the Barry for Best Thriller followed, but it’s his ability to weave intricate narratives with human vulnerability that resonates most. Beyond the Quinn series, his storytelling branches into the Project Eden thrillers, the Rewinder trilogy’s inventive sci-fi twist, and collaborations that expand his reach.

Influenced by writers like Ludlum and King, Battles balances adrenaline-pumping action with thoughtful exploration of trust and betrayal. Now based in Ventura County, California, he continues to write stories where every revelation feels earned, and danger lurks just beneath the surface—pulling readers into a world that’s as thrilling as it is real.
