Hello My Happy People,

This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, Dianne welcomes retired Air Force Special Agent Derrick Jackson, author of the military thriller Shadow One: Based on a True Story.  Drawing on his twenty-one years of experience in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Jackson delivers a gripping story that blends high-stakes criminal investigations with deep emotional conflict and a touch of romance.

Shadow One follows Special Agent Devin Jackson as he confronts betrayal, tragedy, and an international crime syndicate that will stop at nothing to silence him. With themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and justice, this thriller keeps readers hooked while weaving in a heartfelt love story.

Join us as Derrick shares how his real-world counterintelligence and criminal investigation background shaped his writing, and why Shadow One is a must-read for fans of thrillers with both grit and heart.

If you like stories based on real-life experiences, you may have just found your new favorite author. Don't wait, go listen now.

Side note: The quote Dianne gave from Former FBI Agent Robert Ressler was him paraphrasing Friedrich Nietzsche, "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
