Kirk Voclain is a South Louisiana author and professional photographer whose stories range from international espionage and psychological suspense to the wide-open landscapes of the American West.

His Exposure series began with Double Exposure, a spy thriller built around a world Kirk knows extremely well: professional photography. Its prequel, Zero Exposure, takes a very different and slightly twisted approach to storytelling, blurring the line between the author, the story, and what might actually be true. Mostly. Allegedly.

Kirk is also the author of the Spyker Ranch novels Boots and Stilettos and Dust and Inheritance. Whether he is writing about spies in Vienna, photographers in New Orleans, or families fighting for a future in Montana, h

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)

Hi Hannah, thank you again for reading and reviewing *Zero Exposure*. I really appreciate it.

I already have a fairly extensive marketing plan in place, so I’m not looking to hire anyone for paid promotion, reader engagement, review coordination, or similar services.

If you genuinely enjoyed the book, the very best thing you can do is exactly what you’ve already done, leave an honest review, recommend it to other readers, and share it with anyone you think might enjoy it. That kind of genuine word of mouth means far more to me than any paid promotion.

Thanks again for reading!

Standalone Versus Series Novels: Which Fits?

Standalone Versus Series Novels: Which Fits?

A reader finishes a novel at midnight, closes the cover, and sits with that pleasantly disoriented feeling of having been somewhere else for a few hours. Sometimes the satisfaction comes from knowing the story is complete. Other times, the first thought is, “Please tell me there’s another one.” That small difference sits at the heart of standalone versus series novels.

“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
