Stories Built On
Misdirection
I write fiction where the line between reality and expectation blurs. Where truth hides in plain sight, waiting to be uncovered. Stories that reward careful readers while still catching them off guard.

"If you finish my books uncertain which parts were real, then I’ve done exactly what I set out to do."
— Louis Johns
Fiction by Louis Johns
Where expectation meets the unexpected.
The Reset
Detective Daniel Hanlon returns to duty after a shooting that should have ended his career. When a woman who knows his name jumps from a rooftop and vanishes without a body, the facts quickly become impossible. Hanlon follows the trail into forgotten tunnels beneath the city and finds himself at the center of a government conspiracy so vast it redefines everything he knows.
The Author
I fell in love with fiction chasing that rare story that could actually surprise me.
Most books telegraph their twists. You see them coming chapters away. The author thinks they're being clever, but they're just being obvious.
I wanted to write something different. Stories built on misdirection. The kind that reward careful readers while still catching them off guard when it counts.
Fiction has always been where we hide the things we're not allowed to say out loud. I use that.
