New Year Resolution: Release Day for Heir of Evil.

Here's wishing you a Wonderful 2019! 

I start the year not with resolutions consisting on diets or reducing waist size, but with a party! 

Today is the release date of HEIR OF EVIL, the second novel in The Falcon Chronicles. 

About Heir of Evil

The Third Reich collapses. With the siege of the Soviets in Germany and the Second World War lost, Hitler's doctor finds out that Eva Braun is pregnant. A man, close to the Führer, conceives the plan to give continuity to the political-philosophical ideas of Adolf Hitler: we must save at all costs the legitimate heir of the leader of Nazism.

As the 20th Century dies, Oscar Brown emerges a financial superhero on Wall Street. On his thirtieth birthday, he discovers the inevitable skeleton in his family closet: his grandfather is none other than the most hated man in the world: Adolf Hitler. With a Neo-Nazi radical group looking up to him as a symbol, the Mossad wanting him dead, and the CIA turning a deaf ear to his plead for help, Oscar must now run for his life and discover the true origin of his heritage.

Discover how the shedding of police actions, a beautiful Mossad spy, an adventurous archaeologist - of the Indiana Jones type -, a great executive of the New York Stock Exchange and other characters intermingle to give rise to this novel.

J. H. Bográn covers the days from the end of the Second World War to the globalized present in a thriller that takes us across Europe and America in search of evidence that clarifies what happened with the cursed genes.

Blurbs:
"Heir of Evil is the ultimate high concept thriller, brilliantly conceived. J. H. Bográn has fashioned a classic tale that checks all the boxes from historical speculation, to a deadly secret, to a sinister international conspiracy. Reminiscent of Robert Ludlum, as well as Steve Berry and Brad Meltzer, this is storytelling at its level best."
--Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series


“Gripping, spine-tingling, and explosively brilliant, Bográn’s Heir of Evil will grab you with its initial and very imaginative opening and keep you reading into the night.  A very original, fast-paced, and suspenseful thriller.  Highly recommended!”
--R.J. Pineiro, author of Avenue of Regrets.

Firefall´s Official Press Release

Media Release

FIREFALL

JH Bográn

A missing child. An international ring of ruthless thieves. A devastated man.

New York City firefighter, Sebastian Martin, seeks sanctuary in spiralling alcoholic oblivion following the loss of his wife and child in an air crash. Consumed by rage and resentment, directed against his brother and uncle, he takes a last-ditch job in Dallas, Texas, investigating insurance fraud.

Probing a fraudulent claim for a dead child, and another for a missing husband, takes Sebastian to the heart of crime, where he attracts the deadly attention of ruthless international car thieves, uncovers interlinked murders, and is tortured at the hands of a former KGB agent. In uncovering the facts, Sebastian learns his own truth.

Honduras and three other countries provide the exotic backdrop to this edge of the seat thriller.

New Release: A Dozen Shorts

A Dozen Shorts by J. H. Bográn

Quite a collection of short stories that range from pure action to blind romance. And why not, some dragon fantasy for good measure.
An eclectic collection of short stories coming from the mind of J. H. Bográn and his muses.

This collection comprises diverse characters on both sides of the law, from rougue FBI agents, to proffesional assassins, and everyday men and women facing impossible odds.

I strongly recommend popcorn and soda as companions while delving into these stories.

Early Reviews

J. H. Bográn shows more than his writing chops in these succinct yet compelling stories filled with a mix of nitty-gritty action, twisted endings, and thought-provoking topics that will stay with the reader long after finishing A Dozen Shorts.
--Loretta Giacoletto, author of A Collection of Givers and Takers

A Dozen Shorts packs the punch of a thousand boxers. Bogran's wry Fleming-esque humor sets the tone for this varied collection. Comprised of classic noir gems, high-action thrill romps, and thought-provoking grit pieces, these stories will keep readers mulling them over long after they've read them.
--Gina Fava, author of The Race

And the veil is lifted for my new novel

I've posted about Highland Creek in the past. I've also mentioned that it would most likely suffer a change in the title.

Well, now the deed is done and thanks to the support of a group of friends I managed to find a suitable title for my next novel:

Fellow Death Toll author Stephen Edger invited me to visit his blog, so I took the chance to explain how the title change came about. Here's the link:

Ten Interview Questions for The Next Big Thing

My Friend D. Krauss tagged me with these questions. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: why do I still call him a friend, right?
Here’s my reasoning. I was bored, my blog needed a new post— it’s been a while, and besides, when I read the questions I thought they’d be fun.

What is the working title of your book?
Now that’s a tricky question. The current title is “Highland Creek,” but my editor has made it clear we have to change it. So what is it going to be called when it is released? At this point, your guess is as good as mine.

Where did the idea come from for the book?
To explain the where the idea came from I must first tell you the book is about a former member of the FDNY who lost his family in an air accident. Now he´s trying to piece his life back together. He gets a last-chance job investigating insurance fraud, but of course, being a thriller, he soon finds himself in danger.
The original idea for the main plot dealt with the Nigerian scams (yes, we all get those emails), but that concept was scraped in one of the early revisions.

What genre does your book fall under?
Are you asking if it is suspense, action-adventure or thriller?  All of the above, hopefully. Of course, there is a bit of romance mingled in there.

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Jason Statham could play the lead, if he can manage to lose the Brit accent. Jennifer Connelly for the female lead. The bad guy, I’d propose Gael García Bernal.

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Former firefighter and widower Sebastian Martin enters a new job investigating fraud but ends up strapped to a chair enduring torture at the hands of a former KGB trainee.
Phew, that was tough!

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Highland Creek, or whatever the title will be at the time, will be released by Rebel E-Publishers. They are an up and coming publisher who accepts un-agented authors.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
I wrote the first chapter in 2006, the finally typed THE END in 2010. Don’t worry, the book is not overly long, it just happened that life got in the way of my daily goals.

You don´t believe me? Look at the NANOWRIMO patch:

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
The damaged hero is reminiscent of James Bond after becoming a widower in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, or the first half of Lewis Perdue’s Daughter of God or even Ken Follett’s Triple. Did I mention my book is a thriller?

Who or What inspired you to write this book?
The book’s underlying theme is “second chances.” This will be my second novel length work in English, thus my second chance at it. I found inspiration in my desire to become a better writer, device more complicated plots, and last but not least, to finish the damn thing.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

Exotic locations! Half the book’s story happens in different cities of Honduras, however, many of those places are viewed from a foreigner’s perspective. It was quite tricky to take every-day landscapes into exotic locations. Well, not really. The place is beautiful to begin with.
