Into the Dark Night, Falling:

There’s a haunting beauty in this novel. It’s restrained and lyrical, refusing to sensationalize war or romance, and instead embracing emotional truth. Jack’s journey through war-torn Europe, his unexpected love with Dominique, and Vivienne’s determined quest to uncover her roots create a three-part harmony of past, present, and legacy.

The fact that Jack never knew his daughter yet shaped her life from a distance through his sacrifice, gives the story a tragic poignancy. It’s rare to find a wartime novel that is both intimate and epic—this is one of them.

Lonely Road:

 Lonely Road is one of those rare thrillers that grabs you from the first page and never lets go. From the moment Peter Andrews arrives in British Columbia to identify his brother’s body, the story shifts gears fast—unfolding into a dangerous, high-stakes chase involving international terror, hidden motives, and intense chemistry. The relationship between Peter and Lucy is sharp and unpredictable, adding a personal layer to a plot that’s already racing with urgency. The enemy’s ten-year plan feels chillingly believable, and the way you blend real-world tension with raw intimacy keeps the story grounded. I especially liked how the book reminds us—without preaching—that freedom is fragile, and the cost of protecting it is constant.

The combination of international intrigue, emotional stakes, and high-octane action balanced with elements of romance makes this a gripping and memorable read.
The story of Peter Andrews being pulled into a decade-long terror plot, paired with the strength and presence of Lucy from the RCMP, creates a dynamic partnership that’s both explosive and emotionally resonant. Your narrative not only delivers heart-pounding suspense but also serves as a powerful reminder of how thin the line between order and chaos can be and how high the cost of complacency truly is.

I came across your book on Reedsy and was immediately drawn in by its compelling mix of high-stakes international suspense, emotional complexity, and bold romantic tension. With an early upvote already in place, you’ve laid the foundation and there’s tremendous potential to build from here. Lonely Road is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that thrusts an ordinary man into a world of extraordinary danger. Peter Andrews’s journey from personal tragedy into the heart of a global conspiracy paired with the strength and intrigue of RCMP officer Lucy, delivers exactly the kind of emotionally charged, cinematic storytelling that today’s readers are hungry for.

Lonely Road hits hard from the opening moment and never lets up
The loss of Peter’s brother pulls him into a world far darker than he expected and what unfolds is a tightly wound mix of international threat, raw emotion, and magnetic chemistry. The partnership with Lucy adds both fire and depth and their shared fight to stop a long-brewing plan from detonating keeps the story charged at every turn
This isn’t just action for action’s sake it’s a sharp reminder of how quickly peace can unravel and how fragile freedom really is.

Casey’s Island:

I recently had the pleasure of reading Casey’s Island, and I must say, I was genuinely impressed. The character of Eamon Casey really stood out to men his resilience, emotional depth, and transformation from a wounded veteran to a driven seeker of justice was compelling. One part that especially stayed with me was his time in isolation on the island in the Torres Strait his quiet strength and eventual resolve to act was masterfully conveyed.

There is something very solid about Patrick Ford's storytelling. It has pace; it is plotted so you are led, as a reader, convincingly and adeptly from scene to scene through crucial events, action and character encounters, all conveyed with no stutters or comprehension issues with which you, the reader, must contend; the dialogue reads truly; the purpose is direct and unwavering. I enjoyed this book with Ford's writing having clear purpose, with continuous action throughout alongside solidly portrayed characters, leading to a satisfactory conclusion and making this a smooth read.
