Writer

I write about the things I'm passionate about.

Three books are in the works — cybersecurity, a historical thriller, and poker. Stick around and I'll let you know when the first one's ready.

In the works

Three very different books, one common thread — I couldn't stop thinking about them until I started writing.

Cyber risk is business risk

You can delegate the decision, but not the liability

The treasure hunter's legacy

In progress
03

Deal me in

Whatever comes next

New ideas are always brewing. The list is meant to grow.

A few words about me

I spent roughly thirty years in cybersecurity — advising executives, building programs, and trying to make complicated things plain. Somewhere along the way I realized I had more to say than a whitepaper could hold.

So I started writing. Not just about security, but about the stories and ideas that wouldn't leave me alone: a thriller set in the Canary Islands, a poker book for people who play for fun, and whatever shows up next. The common thread is simple — if it keeps me up at night, there's probably a book in it.

This site is the start. Nothing's published yet, and I'm fine with that. If you want a note when the first book is ready, the signup below is the place.
