Book Description
In 1762, as the French and Indian War was raging across America, Benjamin Franklin returned to Philadelphia tasked by the British Prime Minister to stop a foreign plot threatening the British colonies in America. At fifty-six Franklin was a seasoned diplomat who knew nothing about being an agent.
But he was lucky.
Thirty-year-old George Washington, recently retired from the Virginia militia, and his new wife, Martha, are on their way to Philadelphia for a business trip. On the surface Washington was now a wealthy planter but deep inside he was still the fearless leader who missed the adrenaline rush of combat.
In Williamsburg, nineteen-year-old Thomas Jefferson, has finished college and is about to start studying law. He also just got dumped by the girl of his dreams. To raise his spirits, two friends drag him on a road trip to Philadelphia where he meets a mysterious femme fatal who just might be the key to unraveling the plot.
These three future founding fathers cross paths and embark on an adventure against foreign agents and ruthless criminals planning to start a new war that would stop the American colonies from expanding westward and developing into a nation that could reshape the world.
America’s First Spy is a beach read for history buffs. Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with a Historical Adventure featuring the men who made it happen.

I enjoyed a long, successful career in construction management, mostly for power and pharmaceutical plants. To prepare for my second act in life I took writing courses at my local community college, online with Gotham Writers and the Thrillerfest Masterclass. I’ve had short stories published, all in the mystery/crime genre, including Mystery Tribune (Issue 11, Winter 2024), Shotgun Honey, Yellow Mama, Guilty, Pulp Modern and Close to the Bone, so I felt ready to make the leap to writing novels.
