What if the winner of the next election was already decided… months before a single vote was cast?
​
One ordinary morning, a hit-and-run ends the life of a man who never missed a run. No witnesses. No car. Just another tragic accident.
Until his best friend finds something impossible in the victim’s briefcase: a single sheet of paper listing exact precinct-by-precinct vote tallies for a major election… printed days before any ballots were cast.
When Brad Tillman starts asking quiet questions, the shadows answer back. A stranger with a gun talks his way into Brad’s home. A white van appears in the rearview mirror. Tracking devices show up on both cars. Brad and his wife Barbara are suddenly running—not from paranoia, but from people willing to kill to keep one document buried.
What begins as grief over a lost friend spirals into a desperate fight against a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of America’s most trusted election system. Friends become suspects. Safety becomes a memory. And the deeper Brad digs, the clearer one chilling truth becomes: someone controls the votes...and the election results.
A gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller of loyalty, betrayal, and the terrifying power hidden inside the machines we trust to count our voices.
For readers who love Michael Connelly, Vince Flynn, Gregg Hurwitz, and anyone who’s ever wondered: what if the results were already decided?

What if one misguided act of patriotism plunged America into darkness—and nearly triggered nuclear war?
Tony Nestler, Secretary of Energy in the Werner Administration, has spent two grueling years warning the President about the nation's fragile electric grid. A high-altitude EMP from an adversary like China or Russia—or even a massive solar flare like the 1859 Carrington Event—could fry transformers, collapse communications, halt transportation, and doom up to 90% of the population within a year. But in the corridors of power, diplomacy trumps preparation, and Tony's urgent pleas fall on deaf ears.
Desperate for action, Tony shares the terrifying risks with his family—never imagining the impact it might have on his his brilliant ROTC son, Josh.
Military strategists assess that a power outage of the northeast grid might be the prelude to war. As the northeastern U.S. plunges into blackout chaos—looting erupts, lives are lost, and the White House edges toward nuclear response—the President must decide: negotiate with enemies abroad or confront the enemy within. Tony faces the unthinkable: his own son is the prime suspect.
A gripping, fast-paced novella that rips a real-world threat from today's headlines, In Defense of the Grid explores the razor-thin line between patriotism and peril, the cost of ignored warnings, and the devastating power of good intentions gone wrong.
Perfect for fans of One Second After, Tom Clancy-style political thrillers, and stories that blend high-stakes crisis with heart-wrenching family drama.

One man’s campaign for Senate just became a fight for survival.
​
Rick Taylor left his quiet Minnesota life to run for office, fueled by a deep love for the country he felt was slipping away. His wife Maggie’s original protest song became an unexpected viral hit, carrying their grassroots message further than anyone imagined—and catching the attention of people who would kill to keep their secrets buried.
When people start dying and Rick is hunted through the wilderness by a trained assassin, he uncovers a chilling truth: a powerful cabal is using cutting-edge AI killer drones and a staged border crisis to pursue an agenda far darker than national security.
Now grieving, targeted, and running out of time, Rick must decide whether to expose the conspiracy that cost him everything—or watch the United States be reshaped in ways no one voted for.
High-stakes action, heartbreaking loss, and a hero who refuses to quit. For readers of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Jack Carr who crave thrillers with real moral weight.
One campaign. One song. One betrayal that could change America forever.
