From our ole Terry College of Business classmate & TPC's former CF Floyd Feature Writer of Affairs National, Perrin Lovett:
Tom Ironsides Returns in AURELIUS
Imagine a world where instead of voting for, supporting, siding with, or even worshipping wicked people, someone just shoots them. You’ve just glimpsed the story on the pages of Aurelius. Tom Ironsides is back, delivering the hard action people demanded. In this short, fast novella, Illuminati and Epstein-esque types have a very bad day courtesy of our hero. Much of the action was foreshadowed in The Substitute. Buy from Shotwell/Green Altar or Amazon.

A great description from the Green Altar Books:
A dark mission. A ruthless enemy. One man standing between civilization and collapse.
In Aurelius, Tom Ironsides returns to the edge of a shadow world—one that does not merely threaten reality, but breaks into it with violence, cruelty, and merciless intent.
Europe is under threat.
Forces of domination and destruction are moving with brutal purpose. Their goal is not negotiation. It is control—through fear, violation, maiming, and murder. Ironsides is pulled into a fight where hesitation means defeat and mercy may come too late.
Fans of hard-edged action thrillers will find a hero forged for the dark.
With allies old and new, Ironsides takes the fight to enemies who believe civilization is ready to fall. But justice has only one chance: his discipline, his nerve, and his refusal to surrender ground to evil.
If you like relentless pacing, moral stakes, and uncompromising action, step into Aurelius and follow Tom Ironsides into the dark.
In addition to the main title, several semi-related short stories round out the book—some you’ve seen and some you haven’t. It’s a fun ride, though not necessarily for the faint of heart. I may have a walk-through video soon, so stay tuned for that.
What’s next? Hopefully, in the coming months, I’ll have a new modern romance novel, a fun little story set in the American South. It’s not as innocent as Athena, but fans of love and life will enjoy it. After that, if I feel like it, there may be another polemical action novella somewhat similar to Aurelius. And then, I already have a rough first draft of a hefty epic unlike most anything you’ve read before. It’s a little like And Quiet Flows the Don, a little like Glory and the Lightning, and maybe even a little like Dracula. Kindly allow me a year or so; the wait will be worth it. After that, there will be more! ###
