Books

I write two kinds of books. Both keep you up at night.

One business book on leading with AI. Thrillers about men who walked away from the fight. The fight didn’t get the memo. Pick your poison.

Business in front.

Take the Helm book cover: The Field Guide for Creatives Who Refuse to Be Replaced by AI, by Tracy Smith

Take the Helm

AI won’t wipe out your company. Your competitor who learned it first will. Take the Helm is for founders, CEOs, and marketing leaders at small companies who would rather steer than scramble. It covers why you have to lead with AI and how to actually do it.

Same craft. Higher body count.

Marketing is storytelling with a budget. Fiction is storytelling with no safety net. Both live or die on the first line. Both need a reason to turn the page. I do one for a living and the other because I can’t stop.

The Agent Bishop Series

Former CIA paramilitary. Current bishop. And the country is coming apart.

Jordan Oaks left the Agency after one operation cost a boy his life. He came home to Utah, came back to church, and built a quiet life. Then he was called as bishop. Unpaid. Unasked for. Fewer people trying to kill him.

That was the idea, anyway.
