D.C. Salmon delivers pulse-pounding adventure thrillers rooted in historical secrets. My books take real, unsolved mysteries and resurrect them with modern-day action, high-stakes puzzles, and globe-spanning chases. If you love the historical treasure hunts of authors like Clive Cussler, you'll find a new favorite here.
The debut novel, An Irish Mystery, launches the Newman Adventure series with a quest for the long-lost Irish Crown Jewels, stolen from Dublin Castle in 1907.

✂️From Messy Drive Notes to Final Publication: How I Get My Books Ready

By D.C. Salmon ⏱️ Reading Time: 5 minutes

In this post: Leaving my 63,000-word draft in Google Drive for a year, learning from OpenLearn and Reedsy, why I replaced my first cover, my experience with paid editors, and moving to Atticus for typesetting.

When you write a book without a detailed outline, the initial drafting process feels a lot like charging through a dense fog.
