A hidden network.
A conspiracy that reaches far deeper than anyone imagined.

What makes you turn the next page?

For me: unanswered questions, dangerous decisions, unexpected discoveries—and momentum.

Speed isn't the same as momentum.

What's your "just one more chapter" trigger?

What makes a thriller feel real?

For me: believable investigations, technology with limitations, characters who behave like real people, and consequences that matter.

A thriller can be extraordinary. It just has to make the extraordinary feel possible.

How about for you?

The cover is finally here.

I'm excited to reveal the cover of my upcoming cybercrime thriller, The Kali Protocol.

Denver. Cybercrime. An investigation where the evidence itself may not be what it seems.

Coming September 2026.

What makes a thriller protagonist unforgettable?

Not perfection.

The best ones make mistakes, carry emotional scars, and have something personal to lose.

Who's your favorite thriller protagonist, and why?

#Thriller #CrimeFiction #Books

[RohanDrakeAuthor @RohanDrake]

Some thrillers could happen anywhere.

The best ones couldn't.

Why do cities like London, Los Angeles, or Denver become characters in their own right?

I wrote about how setting shaped The Kali Protocol.

What happens when the evidence itself can't be trusted?

AI. Deepfakes. Synthetic identities.

These ideas inspired my debut cybercrime thriller, The Kali Protocol.

🦹 The most dangerous villains aren't always the cruelest.

They're the ones who genuinely believe they're right.

That's the topic of this week's blog—and one of the ideas behind The Kali Protocol.

"How do you convince everyone the bank was never robbed?"

That question became The Kali Protocol.

I wrote about bringing Logan & Anika to life as launch gets closer.

ARC readers still welcome.

A locked vault.

No forced entry.

No alarms.

No suspects.

Just missing millions.

That's the impossible question that inspired The Kali Protocol.

A bank robbery.
A cyberattack.
A conspiracy hiding in plain sight.

ARC readers wanted for The Kali Protocol, a cybercrime thriller.

Every system reaches a point where change becomes risk.

After several rounds of revision, The Kali Protocol has reached that point.

The manuscript is polished.
The story is complete.
📖 ARCs are next.

The system expands.

Luis. Sameer. Brett. Claire. Jason.
Some support the investigation.
Some complicate it.
Some don’t follow the rules at all.

Finished the second revision of the novel.

This round was all about discipline - cutting unnecessary scenes, tightening dialogue, and making sure every part of the story earns its place.

Next: ARCs and real reader feedback.

[RohanDrakeAuthor @RohanDrake]

The quiet phase of revision:
tightening, cutting, refining.
The story is taking shape.
The core idea remains hidden—for now.

ARCs soon.

This is the other one :-)

[RohanDrakeAuthor @RohanDrake]

Writer’s block doesn’t always mean no words.
Sometimes it’s stopping to fix what isn’t right — and losing momentum in the process.
