It’s been some time since I’ve shared anything on here mainly because of the pandemic throwing a monstrous spanner in the works. Everything has been delayed and the book world is no different. Now though things are getting moving once more and I am proud to announce that Red Penguin Books’ imprint, The Global Edit…

A diversion which became something so much more
I had just finished writing Ronin the first book in what was to become the Col Sec series and I was in a difficult place personally. My partner and I were moving house and there were all sorts of complications, both with work and everything that this move encompassed. What had started out to be…
Setting the record straight
There is a debate going on that asks are Prologues and Epilogues necessary in the modern novel. In the Col Sec series I used them in Ronin, the first in the series as a way to set the scene for what was to come and to tie up any loose ends. In Omega I used…

New covers, new upgrades
Jack Dillon is my pen name for a series of books that are similar to my Col Sec series but are set in present day. In fact there are two series of books, one is the SI6 series and the other is the ATLAS Force series. The latter has three books, The Satan Strain,…

What would you do if you found out that humanity is nothing more than some higher species’ experiment?
In the first book of my new Captain Savage series I pose the question of what would happen if you found out that evolution on our home planet had a helping hand and not from the divine presence some of us have come to accept but by another species, more advanced than we could ever…
