I am pleased to announce the release of False Record, the newest installment in the Brandon Powell Thriller Series.

Set in South Georgia, False Record follows Brandon Powell as he becomes entangled in a murder investigation after the death of a prominent attorney whose past actions left a trail of damaged lives, broken trust, and unanswered questions. As evidence begins to point in Powell's direction, he must uncover the truth before a false narrative takes hold and destroys everything he has rebuilt.

The novel combines legal suspense, corruption, financial misconduct, murder, and courtroom intrigue in a story that asks an enduring question:

What happens when public perception becomes more powerful than the truth?

Although False Record continues the story of Brandon Powell, the novel was written to stand on its own. New readers can begin with False Record or start anywhere within the Brandon Powell Thriller Series.

The Brandon Powell Thriller Series

Abuse of Process

A Southern legal thriller examining corruption, abuse of authority, and the consequences of standing up to powerful interests.

Flight 3911

False Record

In addition to the release of False Record, the completed eight-episode streaming adaptation of Flight 3911 is currently being presented to production companies, studios, networks, and streaming platforms.

I look forward to sharing future developments as both the Brandon Powell Thriller Series and the Flight 3911 television project continue to grow.

Thank you to all of the readers, friends, family members, and supporters who have encouraged this journey.
