About this series
Sabrina Crnjak, forever scarred by childhood tragedies arising out of the Bosnian Civil War, now uses her pain as motivation in bringing the instigators of atrocities to justice. When a former Serb defense minister is granted a shocking acquittal in the Hague, the unacceptable outcome provokes her in-depth investigation.
Soon Brina finds herself the target of forces wishing to make both Goran Kos and his pursuer simply disappear. After a lone protector appears, the conflict intensifies as evidence, secreted away years prior, threatens to reveal war criminals who would benefit from present-day inclusion in a continental economy.
With the archive vital to the survival of both sides, a deadly contest ensues. Overwhelming manpower and seemingly inexhaustible resources threaten to crush both Brina and a man whose depth of connection to her life she can only suspect ... Daniel Sean Ritter.

- Operation Naji: Sean's File, #1
1
Whether you know him as Matt Kameldorn, Drew Domenick, or Daniel Sean Ritter, this is the first tale in his professional history. "Sean's File" opens with "Operation Naji." In 1991, the military declares an Air Force pilot missing in action and presumes him dead after a rescue effort locates his devastated F-15 in the Iraqi desert. Three years later, a chance encounter ignites a crisis of conscience in a conflicted Iraqi veteran. Washington becomes aware of a politically lethal possibility: an American might remain the prisoner of the ruling Ba'athist regime. Once the SpecOps unit assembled to investigate confirms the truth, they face the same question as did their chain of command in 1991—is the life of one man worth the risk of losing many more? The honor and commitment of elite operators weigh against the consequences of a failed mission: classified deaths, and the responsibility for provoking another conflict in Iraq. The goal becomes straightforward if not simple: deliver the message that in dealing with those who ignore the rules of war, there are no rules. Approx. 83,600 words / 284 pp. print length.
- Romeo Down: A Short Story: Sean's File, #2
2
Where does a man's strength originate? In 1991, during the short, brutal air war above Iraq, two men unknowingly discover the same answer during an intense CSAR (Combat Search And Rescue) operation. A short story, "Romeo Down" is an account of the action resulting in the award of Daniel Sean Ritter's first Silver Star. Alluded to in dialogue within the first novel of "Sean's File," "Operation Naji," this episode stands alone as a spoiler-free companion volume to that title. Approximately 7,900 words / 30 pp. print length
- King of a Lesser Hill: Sean's File, #3
3
*This novel portrays acts of atrocity during the Bosnian Civil War of the 1990s. Though presented with sensitivity, some scenes might prove disturbing to survivors of conflict and/or violence against women. In 1995's Bosnia and Herzegovina, a USAF pilot, forced to eject over Serb-controlled territory, evades capture with the help of a young Bosnian woman and a sympathetic band of Croat militia. With a ruthless Serbian commander also on the hunt, it falls to Daniel Sean Ritter and his sergeants—now designated the Deep Recovery Team—to find the American first. Stung by setbacks inflicted by an opposing coalition on multiple fronts, Serb paramilitary forces escalate operations as their window of opportunity narrows. Atrocities, reprisals, and response fuel a final conflagration in the embers of war. Its disposition will hinge on the courage found in those who have discovered the passions of Bosnia are ones from which they are unable to walk away. Approx. 83,300 wds. / 290 pp. print length
- The Yemeni Package: Sean's File, #4
4
The year is 1999. Following a failed attack on a USAF base, the leader of an emergent and radical Islamic organization is offered to the United States by his captors. Under political oversight in the persona of a beautiful and deadly female case officer and aided by an apostate cleric, a mothballed Air Force Special Operations unit designated Deep Recovery is tapped for the mission. Their task: quietly deliver a captured terrorist, held overseas, into American custody. Blindsided by the scope of an opposing force drawn from the ranks of a fanatical cult of personality, Daniel Sean Ritter's mission intensifies once matters turn deadly. A simple detainee transfer then becomes a hunt for the most wanted man in the region. Domestic and international political pressures erode their civilian leadership's resolve. Its operators in the field are left diminished and isolated, forced into a quandary of whom their government wishes to prevail ... and into the realization that true strength sometimes is found where there is no one to trust but oneself. Approx. 81,900 wds. / 300 pp. print length
- Twenty-Four Hours to Midnight: Sean's File, #5
5
Today is built on the past. Eight hundred enemy face him. A thousand civilians shelter behind him. The conflict was personal then, and nothing has changed. Daniel Sean Ritter, operating in an environment where neither InterLynk nor an uncommitted United States government can help, seeks to safeguard his wife's Iraqi family during an ISIS advance. There, he learns the enemy campaign is led by One Who Got Away during his Iraq War. Haunted by memories of rare setbacks a decade ago but unwilling to again disengage from an unresolved contest, Ritter takes up arms with his stepson Gabir. With a handful of isolated local militia, a single honorable course of action remains: to do what they can, where they are, with what they have.
