edit data

Blending classical detective fiction with modern technology and futuristic themes, I try to create a modern mystery thriller that remains true to my roots.

I bring over three decades of deep industry expertise in insurance and technology to the world of high-stakes thrillers. After 35 years of honing my craft and dreaming of sharing my stories, I combine technical realism with cinematic suspense. My debut novel, The Failsafe Program, was the culmination of a lifelong passion for storytelling.

New Release Incoming: Eclosion Point

My third novel will release on Tuesday October 20, 2026. I am excited to bring this new Ava Chen thriller to audiences this fall. Ava was one of my favorite characters from my debut novel, The Failsafe Program. She began as a simple plot device to drive the story forward and give some background on the larger landscape of cyber crime involving AI. But the longer I spent time with her the more comp

J.E.’s Quotes

“Grown-up people go to the theatre and there the adventures of all sorts of heroes are represented—sometimes there are robbers and battles, too—and isn’t that just the same thing, in a different form, of course? And young people’s games of soldiers or robbers in their playtime are also art in its first stage.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
