Tom Mykytiuk has been a career infantry officer in the Canadian Army for the past 25 years. In December 2014, he swapped his "sword" for a "pen" and took up writing full time. He includes John Le Carre, Steven King, and Nikos Kazantikus among his literary influences. He enjoys writing about his favorite people-soldiers and ex soldiers, and his personal experiences often find their way into his novels. He admits to dabbling in short stories, but his major works are thrillers with a historical theme.

Veteran's Stories

 I am pleased with the response to my latest book. I have heard from many vets of that operation who are truly thankful that I told our story. I would encourage other veterans to write about their experiences. Everybody has a story to tell. Its living history that needs to be captured before it's too late. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B086HSZ5FC
