Where's Wardo?
Just visited my favorite place in Alaska! It’s a great time of year to visit our northernmost state, with gorgeous scenery and terrific hiking. And here’s a bit of trivia to impress your friends. Alaska is not only the westernmost of the fifty states, but also the easternmost—the Aleutian Islands traverse the International Dateline into eastern longitude!
Where's Wardo?
I really enjoy traveling to get a firsthand look at the areas I describe in my stories. Here I’m standing with the full-size Trojan horse replica that was used in the movie Troy, starring Brad Pitt. It’s currently located in Canakkale, Turkey, having been gifted by Warner Brothers to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The horse didn’t make it into Rules of Engagement, but Turkey definitely did.

The World Cup! I’ve long been a soccer fan, and played during college, so every four years I get excited about this tournament. I’ll actually be attending a game in Atlanta and can’t wait to soak in the atmosphere. Go team USA!
Thank You For Your Support!
Thank you to everyone who purchased my Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan novel, Rules of Engagement, and attended my launch event. I also had the opportunity to speak with a number of media outlets about the book. If you haven’t bought Rules of Engagement, you can do so via the retailer links and you can check out my interviews in the media section of the book page.
Rules Of Engagement: Launch Event & Signed Editions
May 19th is the launch date for Rules of Engagement, my entry into the Tom Clancy universe. I’m super excited about this book and am planning on a launch event at The Oxford Exchange in Tampa. I’ll be joined in a discussion with Jeff Wilson, the co-author of the previous three Jack Ryan books, and Vice Admiral Matthew Kohler. We’ll do a deep dive into the Clancy-verse and talk about the history of this iconic series, as well as where it might be headed.
Also, for those wanting a signed copy of Rules of Engagement, I’m teaming up with The Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale.

Ward Recommends - AREA 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base By Annie Jacobsen
I recently listened to the audiobook version of this terrific nonfiction book. The story of Area 51 goes back nearly to World War II. Talk of this legendary site often gets sidetracked into discussions of aliens and conspiracy theories. The facts Jacobsen provides go a long way to explaining why: for eighty years the northern test ranges in Nevada have been utilized to build and test some of America’s most secret projects. The U-2, the SR-71, and the F-177 Stealth Fighter were all birthed in its secretive hangars. The narrative is compelling in this first-rate read.
Be Among The First To Read Rules of Engagement!
On May 19, my first Tom Clancy/Jack Ryan novel will be released! I’m really excited for Rules of Engagement to go live. Jack Ryan and John Clark were amazing characters to work with, and the first reviews are fantastic. A few lucky individuals will get an early look soon. The winners will receive a hardcover copy of the book when they come hot off the press.
