The Debut Thriller in the Mason Wade Series – Available September 1, 2026

Where evil & power meet rural justice. Mason Wade’s life is shattered when his ranch in Idaho and family empire in Argentina are targeted in a coordinated global strike.

The Threat

The hit put out on CIA operator Mason Wade was just the opening move. The real target is his entire bloodline, a ruthless campaign meant to devastate both sides of his family.

Up in Idaho, Mason’s family of military veterans is fighting a sudden, violent turf war over their sprawling ranch. Thousands of miles south in Argentina, the wealthy Acosta branch of his family is being systematically dismantled by manufactured criminal charges and vicious blackmail.

It isn’t a coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack.

While his brother and cousin hold the line in Idaho, Mason hunts down the masterminds in Argentina. But surviving a two-continent war requires leveraging every resource at his disposal. As Mason digs deep to find the source, he is about to drag long-buried sins into the light—secrets that could destroy the Wades and the Acostas from the inside out.

What Readers Are Saying

Mix the writing styles of David Baldacci, James Patterson, and Brad Thor with the family storytelling of Yellowstone, and you get a taste of what you are in for. From West Coast Venture Capitalists to Special Forces and CIA, this book has it all. Not often do I get the urge to stand up and cheer from the comfort of my reading chair, but this time I did, several times. This book demands a prequel and a sequel.

Craig B. – Arizona

SKELMIR was an exciting, action-packed thriller. The characters had a depth of definition that brought them to life on the pages as I read. The plot was complex and intricate in its connections to the characters as the story unfolded. Once I started reading, it was hard to put the story down. It kept me thinking to the end as to how the conflicts would be resolved and if the characters would make it home to family and safety. For anyone who likes action thrillers, I highly recommend adding this book to your reading list.
