John Fitzgerald didn’t just write about the world of intelligence and military power — he lived inside it.
Born at Fort Dix, raised on Army bases from Texas to Kentucky, and shaped by loss when his father — a decorated WWII and Korean War Silver Star hero — died when Fitzgerald was just ten years old. That early reckoning with sacrifice never left him.
His career took him from Ford Motor Company to a Boston consulting firm, then to his own production company, FBI Productions, housed at the Tribeca Film Center in lower Manhattan — in the shadow of the Twin Towers. He crafted narratives for presidents, CEOs, and icons of film, music, and sports.
Then the Towers fell.
What came after became the engine of everything he writes — stories forged in the aftermath of 9/11, told with the precision of someone who understands how power really operates, and with deep reverence for the unsung heroes of America’s intelligence and military communities.
He now lives and writes by the sea in Hobe Sound, Florida.
His most recent novels — Operation Hawk’s Nest and Operation Deathblow — are available now.
