Jack Patterson started his writing career in 2012 with Dead Shot, the first Cal Murphy mystery. The Cal Murphy series follows a journalist pulled into dangerous situations, and Patterson released twelve books in the series over six years. He also launched the James Flynn series in 2013, which blends political intrigue with action-thriller pacing.
Writing as R.J. Patterson, he has produced several long-running action series at a prolific pace. The Brady Hawk series, which began in 2016, ran to 21 books by 2020 and follows a covert operative handling high-stakes missions. The Titus Black series picks up a similar thread with 16 books published between 2019 and 2023. His most recent series include The Phoenix Chronicles, Blake Barrett, Garrett Knox, and J.D. Blunt, all of which are still ongoing.
Patterson’s background as a journalist shows in his tight, fast-moving plots. He favors short chapters and cliffhanger endings that keep pages turning. His books regularly appear on Amazon bestseller lists in the espionage and action thriller categories.
