Some announcements take years to earn. This one took a blank page, a deadline, and more research into the United States Capitol than I ever expected to do. Today I get to say it out loud: my debut political thriller series is coming.
Introducing the Beneath The Capitol Dome series
Beneath The Capitol Dome is a series of suspense-driven political mystery thrillers set in the marble halls — and hidden corridors — of Washington, D.C. The series follows Grant Monroe, a young Assistant Doorkeeper of the United States Senate who has spent his career watching power move through the Capitol. He knows every door, every turn, every spatial relationship in the building. Which is exactly why he notices when something — or someone — doesn’t add up.
Book One: The Secret Passage — November 16, 2026
The series opens with The Secret Passage, arriving November 16, 2026 from Birch Point Media Group.
A gripping political mystery thriller set against power, secrets, and the high stakes of Washington. Follow Grant Monroe into a world where appearances deceive, motives collide, and every discovery raises the danger.
It begins with a deadlocked Senate vote on a contentious energy bill. Hours later, a senator is dead in a single-vehicle “accident.” And Grant can’t stop thinking about what he saw after the vote: a senator walking into a corridor with one logical exit — and never coming out.
Why the Capitol?
The Capitol is one of the most documented buildings in America — and one of the most secretive. Beneath the public theater of votes and speeches is a building full of preserved chambers, forgotten passages, and people who see everything and are noticed by no one. That gap between what Washington shows and what Washington hides is where this series lives.
Follow the story to launch day
Between now and November 16 I’ll be sharing the road to launch here on the blog — behind-the-scenes story notes, the real history hiding in the Capitol’s corridors, and early looks for readers on my insider list.
