Thriller author Alex Dekker talks about his debut novel, Desert Heist, and lets us know this is just the first in a new series of adventures.
Alex talks about his background as a retired Special Forces and his love for history and archaeology, and how his love for Indiana Jones influenced the creation of his protagonist, Nate Wilde. We also dive into his research process, his writing process and that he does have a travel log of places he wants to visit as research for future Nate Wilde adventures. He already has ideas for a dozen, with Books 2 and 3 already in the pipeline.
Desert Heist will be available in print, ebook and audiobook on July 28, 2026 from Atria Books
