Today’s the day!! THE FINAL HOUR, my Amazon Original Story, is officially out as part of the PURSUIT COLLECTION—written with my friends @bentleydonb, @MarkGreaneyBook with Josh Hood, @mccloskeybooks, @Allison_Brennan, and @BradTaylorBooks.
This is the most personal story I’ve ever written, inspired by something that happened to me when I was a rookie cop in Toronto. I hope you enjoy!
My new short story, TOWER FALL, is now on sale!
Written with my good friend Joshua Hood, TOWER FALL is part of the Pursuit Collection, a gripping assortment of short stories that explore what it means to be predator and prey! My friends Brad Taylor, DonBentley, Simon Gervais, David McCloskey, and Allison Brennan have also contributed high-octane works to the collection.
TOWER FALL is all action and heart. It’s about the lengths an estranged couple, both ex-spies, will go to in order to save the life of their daughter. I hope you will give it a read or a listen and tell us what you think about our story, and I also hope you’ll check out the other writer’s contributions to the collection!
Only available as an e-book or at @audible_com

Horrifying
Leonas Stonkus, whose Nazi-led Lithuanian battalion shot the Jews of Kopyl in Belarus:
Interviewer: “Were they shot lying on the ground, or in the pits?”
Stonkus: “The women knelt, I think. The children were jumping about. They had no idea this was a death zone. [...] The children stood in front. Behind them, all were already shot. They did not realize their parents were dead. The older boys or girls understood. The little ones just carried on fooling around.”
Interviewer: “So how were the children driven to the pit?”
Stonkus: “The women led the children. The order was that a mother must not leave her child behind. You must take your child with you. If you don't have the child, give it to a neighbor to lead.”
Interviewer: “Mothers and children?”
Stonkus: “Together. They crammed them into that pit, one on top of another. No one paid any attention. They fired, and that was it.”
This comes from USHMM’s interviews with Lithuanian witnesses (Leonas Stonkus interview, 1998, RG-50.473.0023). English captions translated from USHMM's transcript of Stonkus’s Lithuanian. Cut and captioned by me.

A Texas father who had lived in the U.S. for 25 years with no criminal record was finishing his night shift as an Uber driver when immigration agents detained him.
Without being able to speak to his lawyer or a judge, he was put on a plane and sent first to Ghana, a country where he had no ties. He was then sent to his home country, despite a determination by a U.S. immigration court judge that he could not be deported there due to likely persecution. cbsn.ws/3Ude66r

Today, another Russian smear campaign is trying to pretend that Ukraine, or Zelenskyy personally, rejected a good "peace deal" in Istanbul in 2022.
The "peace plan" in question included strict limitations on the Ukrainian armed forces, rendering them harmless and defenseless. No alliances were allowed. It also included security guarantees, but with a funny kicker: Russia demanded that triggering these security guarantees required the unanimous agreement of all guarantor states, including Russia itself.
In other words, Ukraine was supposed to disarm almost completely, after which Russia could attack again and just block Ukraine from receiving any military aid. Comfy, right?
The "peace deal" proposed in Istanbul was, in fact, a "disarm and let Russia slaughter us" deal. The full details are public by now. Research it yourself and don't fall for the propaganda.

Focused like a laser on affordability and the forgotten man.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize reut.rs/3U1joSt

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's.
What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

The Russian propaganda operation begins, with American collusion

There is no evidence that Ukraine has kidnapped Russian children.UN investigation concluded that Russia’s deportation, transfer and disappearance of Ukrainian children constitute war crimes

Trump says he doesn’t want immigrants from Norway because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.
“Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country.”

Corrupt autocracies prefer to do business with other corrupt autocracies because the profits are personal on both sides, not for the state or the country. No oversight, no investigations.
I’m so excited to announce my new project, TOWER FALL, a short story of 15,000 words I wrote with my good friend Joshua Hood (Author of Robert Ludlum’s Treadstone series, plus THE GUARDIAN, BURNOUT, and CLEAR BY FIRE).
Amazon is releasing TOWER FALL as part of their Pursuit Collection, a gripping assortment of short stories that explore what it means to be predator and prey. My friends Brad Taylor, Don Bentley, Simon Gervais, David McCloskey, and Allison Brennan have also contributed high-octane works to the collection.
The Pursuit Collection will be available in e-book and audiobook formats on October 27th!
TOWER FALL is all action and heart. It’s about the lengths an estranged couple, both ex-spies, will go to in order to save the life of their daughter.

One of the largest disinformation campaigns in recent years is now unfolding on the X platform.
This large-scale bot, troll farm and paid influencer campaign is aimed at deflecting blame away from those that throttled Ukraine's Starshield/Starlink access onto Ukraine itself.

Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump is responsible.
Hint, they both are!
The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. We’re waiting for interceptors that were already agreed on. But they are still not coming. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.
All of this is happening while we continue our quite successful operations on the front. We keep defending positions. Things have become harder – partly because of the Starlink and Starshield policies and speed limits. But our frontline is still holding and I am proud of how strong our people are.

Just for the record. We are at war with Iran right now. We have been since *at least*!February 28 (there’s a legitimate argument that it’s been much, much, longer). Whether you think that’s good or bad doesn’t matter. Our naval blockade is an act of war. Iran is shooting at us and our allies. That is an act of war. The way the media — left, right, and center — talks about this “conflict” as if wars are purely legal fictions or solely involve a “war-ish” level of combat serves no one’s interests.

Should be evidence for any congressional inquiries into what happened with Starshield. If Musk is throttling a Pentagon-run defense network, which was commissioned to work in a partner nation as a matter of U.S. policy, because of his own political bias or desire to sway the midterms he’s heavily invested in (see his subsequent tweet), then he represents a national security risk. I’d argue he represents that anyway.
