WILLIAM TREVOR FRANCIS (WTF) , British ex-military and international ‘Thief for Hire’ has been framed for a crime, and murder, that he did not commit.

On the run from the local police authorities and Interpol, he must now piece together the little information he has to figure out who the real criminal mastermind is, and why he was set up in the first place. Playing fast and dirty, and using all of his skill, charm and military training to his advantage, proving his innocence for the one crime he didn’t commit isn’t going to be easy!

At the age of 18, he joined the French Army and enrolled with the 1st RHP Parachute Regiment in Tarbes. After successfully earning his wings and red beret, he served as a light weapons, communications, and field combat instructor for incoming recruits. On deployment with the United Nations in Bihac, Zagreb, and Sarajevo he carried out armed protection to humanitarian aid convoys – as well as reconnaissance and surveillance missions – during the Peace Talk process.

Tell Us About Your Military Service
“I was born in Paris, France and moved to London, England when I was a kid – and at the age of 18, using my dual French/British nationality to my advantage, I volunteered for French National Service with the 1st RHP Parachute Regiment in the South of France. Having successfully earned my wings and red beret I then went on to become a light weapons, communications and field combat instructor for new recruits completing their 3 months of basic training. I also served with the UN Peacekeeping forces in Bihac, Zagreb and Sarajevo providing armored support to humanitarian aid convoys and armed protection during the Peace Talks process. All of this background knowledge plays a heavy part in the book series, and I intentionally put as much of my own personality, upbringing and military experience into the character as possible because I feel it adds authenticity and depth.”

Why Did You Start Writing?
“I moved out to Los Angeles and was immediately bitten by the acting bug. I took acting classes wherever I could, invested my remaining dollars into headshots and got myself the only agent who would take me on. I then started going out on auditions I had absolutely no chance of landing and cattle-calls that I had no right attending. It was a ‘numbers game’ with zero focus and even less strategy. Anyway, the weeks turned into months, the months into years and before I knew it I was stuck in a rut as a background artist. Time to change tactics and get a ‘real job’. That’s when I first started to write! After too many soul-crushing days spent working at a typical gray office cubicle I would sit down at my computer at home and ‘write myself the part I always wanted’.”
