SHADOW STRIKE (The Next James Maguire Novel)

Well, I’m excited to announce the latest James Maguire novel, SHADOW STRIKE, is finished and is now available for PREORDER on Amazon. It will deliver / ship after February 28th, 2024.

This novel is a prequel story from James’ time in the Navy SEALs, but it ties in with the rest of the series and chronologically comes in after GLASS CASTLE.

In the heart-pounding thriller SHADOW STRIKE, Navy SEAL James Maguire embarks on a perilous covert mission that will push him to the limits of his training and loyalty. Tasked by the CIA to eliminate a high-ranking cartel member in Mexico, Maguire expects danger and risk, but nothing prepares him for the treacherous web of deception that awaits him.

As the mission unravels disastrously, Maguire finds himself stranded in a hostile foreign land, abandoned and left to fend for himself. Determined to uncover the truth behind the botched operation, he embarks on a relentless quest to identify the mole who sold them out to the very enemy they sought to destroy.

With time running out and danger at every turn, Maguire must rely on an unlikely alliance with an old Special Forces friend and a reluctant Mexican cop. Amidst the chaos and adrenaline-fueled action, unexpected emotions flare, adding another layer of complexity to an already precarious situation.

In a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, Maguire races against the clock to outwit the shadows that threaten to engulf him. As secrets are unearthed and loyalties are tested, he must confront the sinister forces at work in the war on drugs.

SHADOW STRIKE is a gripping tale of honor, betrayal, and vengeance that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Will Maguire uncover the truth behind the betrayal? Can he navigate the deadly labyrinth of cartels and deceit to achieve the justice he seeks? Dive into this heart-racing adventure as Maguire battles not only the ruthless cartels but also the haunting shadows of guilt lurking within his own heart.

Winter 2019 – Update

Where have I been? It’s a question I often ask myself these days.

If you’re like me, this time of year can be quite hectic on the best of days, but being an author means that you have even more going on.

So far this Fall / Winter season I have done a complete re-edit of my debut novel, Perfect Pawn. I’d taken a hard look at it and decided that, since I have grown as a writer, I needed to focus on making it the best it could be. I believe the current edition meets those requirements without taking away from the overall story-line.

Since then, I have kept busy. I’ve completed the re-edits on the follow-up book, Queen’s Gambit, and hope to have that re-released later this month or the early part of January 2020. I’m also currently re-editing the first Alex Taylor novel, Small Town Secrets, and hope to have a re-launch of that book with a new cover.

I also decided to write a new book. This one marks my journey into a new genre: Supernatural, but I haven’t completely abandoned my origins. I took an idea and weaved it into a police procedural/mystery story. It was fun crafting the story-line, and I believe readers of both genres will find something to enjoy. At this time I am shooting for a release date in early 2020.

Speaking of 2020, with the release of the 5th Maguire novel, Glass Castle, I will be starting work on the 4th Alex Taylor novel. I’ve been busy doing the outline and I have about 6 chapters already fleshed out.

So there you have it, the goings on in the chaotic world of this writer. I hope that all of you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I extend my best wishes for a blessed Christmas.

See you in the New Year!

The pre-order option is now available on my Amazon webpage.

If you haven’t had the chance to catch up on the series you still have plenty of time. All my books are available over at Amazon.

GLASS CASTLE picks up nearly a year after Knight Fall (and roughly 6 months since Brooklyn Bounce, for those reading my books in order). Maguire has grudgingly accepted his new role as NYPD Police Commissioner, but soon finds himself questioning his decision when he is thrust into the middle of an investigation that threatens the very underpinnings of the city. As the case heats up, Maguire soon finds himself wondering who he can trust and reaching out to his past for help, but will that help come at a price?

I want to thank all of you who have been so patient with this process; I know that it took a long time and I hope that you will enjoy the latest continuation of the Maguire series.

GLASS CASTLE - Cover Reveal

GLASS CASTLE

When a young woman is found dead in her Midtown Manhattan apartment, all signs point to a tragic suicide, but the detectives of the NYPD have grown accustomed to the fact that things are rarely what they appear to be. The trail of clues leads them into a world of sex, lies and politics.

James Maguire has grudgingly accepted his new role as NYPD Police Commissioner, but soon finds himself questioning his decision when he is thrust into the middle of an investigation that threatens the very underpinnings of the city. While Maguire treads carefully through the political minefield, his fiancée, Melody Anderson, is facing her own dilemma; a job offer from Eliza Cook, the woman that many believe will be the next President of the United States.

As the investigation heats up, Maguire soon finds himself wondering who he can trust and reaching out to his past for help, but will that help come at too high of a personal price?
