About

Please join the conversation on my Blog, wesdemott.wordpress.com, a place for writers to work on their craft together. 

I am the author of 6 published books, with a 7th on the way. One book, first published as hardcover under the title "Vapors", found its way in paperback as "The Fund" and was translated into Czech ("Stiny"), Hungarian "(Arnyak"), and Russian, where it became an itnernational best-seller. The same novel also won the IPPY Gold award for best new Suspense/thriller. The e-format rights to all my books have now been bought by Admiral House Publishing, where you can purchase them.  All my books are also available at the Kindle Store and at the B&N Nook Books.

Story Behind The Book

Robert Ludlum was a gracious man who hosted the launch party for my second thriller, Vapors. Although we shared a genre, my books were more political than his, at least until The Typhoon Sanction, which I wrote as my homage to Robert and the final step in my own transition from thrillers to adventure novels. Although I've had good success with three previous thrillers, I wrote The Typhoon Sanction as though Ludlum was looking over my shoulder. I think I succeeded in creating a story he would have loved to read.
