For the past two years, between the Thomas Scoundrel novels, I’ve been writing a book of true stories, one for every day of the year. Each page has a quotation and the real story behind it: explorers, soldiers, inventors, athletes, parents, and ordinary people who did something hard and right when it counted. Many fall on the anniversary of the day they happened. Each takes about two minutes to read.
I wrote it for anyone who wants to start the morning with something true and worth living up to. It’s also the gift I wish I’d had for the hard-to-buy-for people in my life: something they’ll open every day of the year.
This is a quiet soft launch ahead of the holidays, so early support means a lot. If you pick up a copy, an honest Amazon review is the single best thing you can do for a new book. And if you know someone who’d love it, please share the link in the image.
Many thanks, B.R.
The 4th Thomas Scoundrel adventure is here!
In the Shadow of Legend, One Man Must Choose Between Fame and Justice
When Buffalo Bill’s Wild West thunders into 1887 London, Colonel Thomas Scoundrel expects spectacle, not slaughter. But as brutal murders rip through Whitechapel and a young Lakota warrior is framed for the crimes, Thomas is pulled into a deadly conspiracy that reaches from the fog-choked alleys to the highest corridors of power.
““O’Hagan’s Khartoum is gritty combat, ancient secrets, love and loyalty, and clashing empires — pure, electrifying storytelling.” ”

“A glorious, epic ride that you’ll wish didn’t have to end. O’Hagan’s writing brings the giants of adventure literature to mind, like Victor Hugo in “Les Miserables,” and Alexandre Dumas’ in “The Count of Monte Cristo.” This is story telling at its finest.”
““What a life! My friend Thomas Scoundrel has done it all. Do I envy him? Hell, yes!”
”
“When Thomas Scoundrel arrives, men ready their vest pistols and women ready their room keys.”

Listen to a brief introduction to the book
““Big and brash…a powerful and dazzling blend of swashbuckling heroics, tender romance, fascinating characters and heart-stopping action that is deeply moving (occasionally hilarious) and relentlessly entertaining.””
“Passage to Moorea takes the historical fiction / action adventure genre to new heights. From unstoppable action to superb character development, fantastic location descriptions, an engrossing and unforgettable story, and, of course, Scoundrel’s signature gourmet food and wine, this book delivers an exhilarating experience for readers.
”
““Passage to Moorea is a thoroughly engrossing, action-packed wild ride…an edge-of-your-seat thriller read that crafts a “you are here” experience that pulls you deep into the world of 19th century fine art in the company of trained assassins, villainous art dealers, Tahitian warriors, American robber barons, and a host of unforgettable characters.””
