TV shows he has enjoyed include Colony, Bloodline, Bosch and After Life.

He wrote the AMERICAN GHOST® series of action thrillers.

The series features protagonist Nathan Stone, a former CIA covert operative who had been critically wounded, and everyone thought was dead. But behind closed doors, he was rehabilitated by a highly secretive government organization known as the Commission, given a new identity and appearance, and remoulded into a lethal assassin. His brief: to execute kill orders drawn up by the Commission, all in the name of national security. The Commission owns him, but Stone knows one wrong move could turn him from loyal asset to hunted man.

He also wrote the Jon Reznick novella, Gone Bad (No Way Back Press), and the DEBORAH JONES® crime thrillers, Miami Requiem (No Way Back Press) and Dark Waters (No Way Back Press).

He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is married with two children.

J.B. Turner answered Adam James's question: Currently reading Hard Road and find that I like Reznick, unlike Nathan Stone (Rogue) whom I really hated. Stone was a psycho in my opinion. He reminded me of "The Iceman" (Richard Kuklinski), who was despicable, yunno, in my opinion. So Stone kills *SPOILER ALERT!!* all the characters in the story. Why have such a reprehensible main character? Cheers and Happy Writing!! Hi Adam, Apologies for taking so long getting back to you. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to ask this question. I think you're probably right, Nathan Stone does appear to be a psychopath. But I think if you check out the follow up Reckoning and t See Full Answer

Quotes by J.B. Turner

“Hi, looking for a number in Weston, Florida. Is there anything for Magruder?” “How are you spelling that, sir?” “Magruder. M-A-G-R-U-D-E-R.” “Hold the line, sir.” Vivaldi’s Four Seasons started playing for what seemed like an eternity. It was probably only a couple of seconds. Eventually, the woman came back on the line. “Yes, sir, I’ve got one in the town of Weston, Florida.”
― J.B. Turner, Hard Road

“Reznick pulled back her eyelids. His daughter’s pupils were pinpricks. Reaching over, he took her pulse. Her skin was cold, but he felt a faint beat. “Oh, Christ no, Lauren!” He shook her to try and rouse her.”
― J.B. Turner, Hard Road

“Jon! Jon! Please come and get me! Jon! Jon!” He tried to move, but he was paralyzed. He willed himself to move. But he was frozen. All of a sudden, an ominous thunderous roar, and the tiny figure was swallowed in a cloud of dust and ash as the building descended at speed, the smell of burning fuel thick in the air, the screaming unrelenting.”
― J.B. Turner, Hard Road
