Today, AI industry leaders reportedly warned Congress about the risk that advanced AI could help lower barriers to biological weapon development.

That got my attention.

The central threat in Defiant is built around the convergence of AI, genetic data, and biotechnology.

When I wrote it, that was a thriller premise.

Today, it's a policy discussion.

Spent nearly an hour talking thrillers, Kate Preacher, storytelling, surprises that emerged while writing the trilogy, and a few hints about what may still lie ahead.

No spoilers. Just a fun conversation and a glimpse behind the scenes.

“If you’re a fan of Brad Taylor’s Pike Logan books and the whole Taskforce-style covert operations vibe, this book hits that same sweet spot.”

Spent time today with Joey Nobody — the real-world tattoo artist behind WARPAINT ACTUAL, legendary artist for NSW and special operators around the globe.…great stories (some don’t leave the shop).

An honor to have him appear in Defiant.

Absolutely incredible experience.

“Block off time.”

That’s the advice for Unstoppable.

Appreciate this review—especially the “laughed, cried, felt every minute” line.

Love the “book and a beer” pairing—feels like just the right way to experience this one.

Appreciate you taking Relentless for a spin, but you're making my thirsty.
