Specializing in adventure fiction and fast-paced stories with interesting characters, intrigue, and action. To order books, go to the series pages.
I like variety, so I’m working on multiple series of books. Four series are listed immediately below. There are more! (See other pages on this site!)
My stories, although ‘clean’ are gritty. My protagonists are morally upright people who struggle to do the right thing in challenging situations.

A former Secret Service Agent gets involved in epic challenges as he aids his clients. The third volume has just been released and is now available!

After spending nine years in the French Foreign Legion, a young man joins with the USA’s Homeland Security to battle drug dealers and terrorists.

A professional illusionist and his gorgeous assistant use their skills in deception and creative thinking to solve mysteries and combat criminals.

A construction worker with no military background or special skills overcomes adversity and impossible odds with common sense and determination
The fifth volume in the Thomas Adam Gray, THE MEDUSA STING, is now available. (See the Thomas Adam Gray page!)
When a man disappears in the Solomon Islands, Thomas Adam Gray is hired to find him.
What seems to be a simple matter of investigating a lost person leads to a demented woman who specializes in poisons and exotic means of putting people to death.
Thomas and his girlfriend, Tiffany Swenson, encounter stolen art, a Nazi U-boat from World War II, giant crocodiles, sea snakes, emperor rats, a professional boxer, unscrupulous mercenaries, headhunters, a sumo wrestler, and a Japanese movie star as they unravel a century-old mystery.

I shouldn’t have started reading your book; I ended up staying up all night to finish it. Just couldn’t stop reading!

“If you’re a fan of Clive Cussler, James Bond, or Jack Reacher, then Escalation: A Carson Gold Thriller by Duane Laflin is the perfect pick for you! Carson Gold brings a mix of brains, brawn, and charm that makes him a standout hero. Think Jack Reacher’s grit combined with James Bond’s high-stakes adventures, and you’ve got an idea of what to expect.

I’m not an avid reader but the story line of this book interested me so I bought it. Once I started reading it, I found it was difficult to put it down. The story is easy to follow and the characters and events are intriguing. This is a fantastic book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Highly recommended

May 11, 2025 – At the moment, I am reading THE TREASURE WHALE aloud to my wife as part of the editing process. She makes her suggestions and corrections, and then the book goes to the proofreaders. After that and yet more edits/corrections, the book is ready for publication. We expect it to be available by mid-June.
