Writing has always been more than just a hobby for Jonathan McCormick of Lone Butte.
With a background in martial arts and as a law-enforcement trainer, the former United States Marine has penned many articles for publications, such as the law enforcement periodicals, Blue Line, Twenty-Four-Seven, and the Canadian Firearms Journal. He was also the security columnist for the Vancouver Province newspaper.
When he decided to write his first novel, Wyoming Secrets, it was natural the story is set in a world that he knows so well.
The suspense thriller follows Secret Service investigator Jessica Fukishura and her hand-picked team of cowboy agent Rebecca Simpson and hacker Elisabeth Peltowski on assignment in trendy spots all over the world. McCormick tells his story through a plot seeped in suspense, mystery, love, sex and martial arts.
Wyoming Secrets was published on Jan. 28, 2012 and already it’s destined to become part of a series called “J” Team Novels. The second of the series, 30,000 Secrets, is well on the way and due to come out in February 2013.
The series’ target reading audience is women aged 21 years and over, but McCormick warns that his writing style is caustic.
“I tell it like it is. I’ve used lots of personal background for the book, including martial arts and shooting from my own experience and training.”
The book is available from Amazon.com.
