Hello My Happy People,
This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, Dianne welcomes retired Air Force Special Agent Derrick Jackson, author of the military thriller Shadow One: Based on a True Story. Drawing on his 21 years of experience in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Jackson delivers a gripping story that blends high-stakes criminal investigations with deep emotional conflict and a touch of romance.
Shadow One follows Special Agent Devin Jackson as he confronts betrayal, tragedy, and an international crime syndicate that will stop at nothing to silence him. With themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and justice, this thriller keeps readers hooked while weaving in a heartfelt love story.
Join us as Derrick shares how his real-world counterintelligence and criminal investigation background shaped his writing, and why Shadow One is a must-read for fans of thrillers with both grit and heart.

Side note: The quote Dianne gave from Former FBI Agent Robert Ressler was him paraphrasing Friedrich Nietzsche, "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
