Hello! I'm Tony Knapp—author and fellow book lover. I currently split time between California and Tennessee so I can be close to family and explore new places. After 33 years as an educator, I retired to chase writing, another passion. As a student of political intrigue, I earned a Master's Degree in National Security. Here, I met many remarkable individuals whose primary goal was to serve their country and their God with honor and dignity. These individuals inspired my novels.
An Autumn Mist is an adventure about secrets, love, and loyalty. Our heroes prove themselves willing to sacrifice all they hold dear for something greater than themselves. Ultimately, a story about ordinary men and women who, when facing their greatest fears, do the extraordinary.
A Summer Storm, my second book, continues the journey of Jason McCullough, Lizzy Locke, and Ryan Fletcher. Once again, they face evil, powerful forces threatening all they hold dear. New characters share bonds of love and loyalty while struggling to exist in the world of spies.
My third book, A Tempest in Winter, thrusts our heroes into their most dangerous battle yet. After a new enemy launches a deadly campaign to instigate war on the Korean Peninsula, Hawk, Lizzy, and the covert ops Team, Triple-A, face a ruthless and terrifying opponent. In the horrifying aftermath of a massive attack, the team races to stop even greater destruction.
If you enjoy the works of Jack Slater, Clancy, Ludlum, or Flynn, I think you'll really enjoy my books!

In A Tempest in Winter by Tony Knapp, Jason "Hawk" McCullough, a former prisoner with PTSD from his time in a North Korean gulag, endeavors to reintegrate into civilian life and reconnect with Lizzy, a CIA operative and his therapist. Hawk is on a dual mission: he aims to find Greg Ro, who was instrumental in his rescue, and locate the kidnapped family of Captain Elias Tacker, their late mentor. As Hawk leads a covert operations team, other issues arise with Lizzy. There is a great deal of guilt over the past capture. Their efforts ratchet up when they uncover a terrorist plot orchestrated by Pak Ro in London, threatening a series of bombings. With the stakes reaching a fever pitch, both Hawk and Lizzy race against time to prevent further attacks while juggling their relationship and a string of unresolved trauma.
A Tempest in Winter by Tony Knapp is the gift that keeps on giving. It is a tightly constructed thriller with a unique plot and strong character development, each one with their distinctive features. Knapp provides plenty of anxiety, some moments that are stylistically familiar like Lizzy rifling through an office for files while the sound of footsteps approaches, to more original moments that are fresh and exciting. Knapp's strength lies in depicting the psychology of his characters, allowing these triggers to insert themselves into their choices. The writing style is sharp, the settings are described cinematically, and the dialogue comes across as authentic. Knapp has crafted a standout thriller that is both thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining, taking readers on an exhilarating ride. I am looking forward to what comes next from his pen. Very highly recommended.
