His stories bridge the gap between the visual and the visceral. His debut thriller, Double Exposure, blends art and espionage, proving that a camera and a confident stride can open doors meant to stay locked.

During all that time, I have been writing my book Double Exposure in my mind. All that time, different things would happen and various situations and experiences as a photographer I would say things like, THIS NEEDS TO GO IN THE BOOK. When I actually sat down and started writing this Novel, all of those experiences came back to me and I did put them in the book. So, for me, I am all over this novel. Exp. the Main Character, Reed Sawyer. Even his girl friend "Tammy" is actually my wife. This Novel was so much fun to write.(less)

A Guide to Writing Plot Twists That Feel Earned

A Guide to Writing Plot Twists That Feel Earned

The cleanest plot twists often arrive in a quiet moment: a familiar detail suddenly means something else, a trusted person makes one revealing choice, or the hero realizes the problem was never where it appeared to be. This guide to writing plot twists is less about hiding a rabbit in a hat and more about placing the hat on the table early enough that readers remember seeing it.

“Blue thumped his tail. Spike shook his head once, as if he’d heard enough promises and would prefer lunch.”
Kirk Voclain, Boots and Stilettos

“405 Independance”
Kirk Voclain, Double Exposure: A Spy Thriller

“She stood there in yoga pants that probably cost more than his saddle, pristine white tennis shoes, and what appeared to be a silk blouse in a shade of pink that would send his bulls running. Her golden hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, and she'd even put on makeup. At five in the morning. For ranch work.”
Kirk Voclain, Boots and Stilettos
