Terrorism thrillers from an indie author who knows the military side

The featured author on the Goodreads PFDR board this week is Rachel A Brune. Her work is mostly comprised of thrillers with a police, military and anti-terrorism focus, instead of paranormal, fantasy, dystopia or romance. But she has written some horror short stories.

This author is intriguing to me because she spent five years as a combat journalist for the US military, including two tours in Iraq. Having spent some time as a conflict reporter for newspapers in the Balkans and some of that on US military bases with their media people, I am intrigued to see how this experience translates into thrillers. From all appearances Brune's books are realistic, gritty and disturbing as thrillers should be. 

Her first thriller Soft Target (about an anti-terrorism specialist with PTSD from wars in Iraq and a rookie reporter dealing with a suspenseful attack on New York City) can be found HERE.

She also wrote a memoir of her journey from a corporate job to military work entitled Echoes and Premonitions.

Rachel A Brune is an author who writes from authentic experience and that usually makes all the difference. You can find out more about her and her other work HERE.
