Exploring the Sequel and Future of a Crime Thriller Series

Steve Lazarus- Author,- "Behind the Badge: A Retired FBI Agent's Journey into Writing"

 I introduce the one and only Steve Lazarus, FBI agent turned author, and I know you’ll love the show as much as I did.

Steve Lazarus is a first-time author, retired FBI Special Agent, and United States Air Force veteran. He served twenty-two years in the FBI, spending the first half of his career investigating drug trafficking organisations and violent street gangs. 

Later, he became a full time bomb technician, an assignment which led him to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror. After retiring from the Bureau, he spent several years as a national security contractor in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Steve's journey from law enforcement to literary success is nothing short of inspiring. His debut novel, "Call Me Sonny," is a thrilling dive into the world of a hitman network operating in the shadows of the dark web.

 The kicker? 
It's inspired by a real-life threat Steve faced during his FBI days. Steve’s debut novel was inspired by one of his real-life cases.

 After arresting a subject who threatened to unleash a bioterror attack on the Atlanta subway system, Steve and his partner found themselves of the receiving end of a death threat from the soon-to-be convicted felon.

And though that subject would spend the next 25 years in prison, Steve couldn’t help but wonder….what if he could make good on his threat, even from behind bars? The most logical solution would be if he hired a hit man, and….voila!!!! 

A novel was born.

Talk about authenticity! “Call Me Sonny” was a labor of love incorporating the personalities, anecdotes, and experiences of Steve’s multi- faceted FBI career, and it will be the first in a series of Bryce Chandler crime thrillers.

🎙️ Straight Talk: We get real about the impact of 9/11, the complexities of the Afghan withdrawal, and the intersection of politics and law enforcement. Steve's insights are a reality check we all need in a world where words are often twisted and accountability seems scarce.

👀 Perception is Key: Steve reminds us that it's not just about being a quiet professional; sometimes, you've got to confront the noise head-on. And in a society polarized to extremes, his middle-ground stance is a breath of fresh air.

🔍 The Cliffhanger: "Call Me Sonny" left us hanging, but Steve's already 30,000 words deep into the sequel, "Finding Sonny." Will it be a duo or a trilogy? Stay tuned to find out!

📈 Social Media Sensation: With a quarter million TikTok followers and a strong Instagram presence, Steve's not just a writer; he's a social media phenomenon. And he's got the humor to match, joking about conspiracy theories and the power of perception.
