J.T. Patten is a thriller author whose career in defense and intelligence consulting directly shapes his fiction. His books draw on firsthand knowledge of how special operations units and intelligence agencies operate, giving them a level of procedural detail not common in the genre. He began publishing in 2014 and has built a small but consistent body of work across several series and standalone titles.
His Sean Havens Black Ops series, which launched with Shadow Masters in 2014, follows a black-ops operative navigating the murky boundaries between legitimate national security work and off-the-books operations. The Task Force Orange series takes a similar approach, following a unit involved in sensitive intelligence work. Both series are best read in publication order as they follow ongoing character development.
Patten’s New Orleans Haunts series marks a departure toward supernatural thriller territory, set in New Orleans and featuring paranormal elements alongside action. This newer series, with Brothers of Blood and Howl of the Hunted, shows Patten expanding his genre range while retaining his action-oriented storytelling style.
