About Author J. Thomas Rompel

J. Thomas RompelJ. Thomas Rompel lives in Tucson, Arizona and knows first-hand the threats and dangers that exist from a porous American border. He’s inspired by true events and real people.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he was involved with a business that dealt with the U.S. military and law enforcement both at the local and federal levels, including Border Patrol agents in the Tucson Sector. His regular contact with agents in the field provided an inside look at how enemies, both foreign and domestic, wish to wreak havoc on American soil.

His novels seem real because he lives so close to the action where national headlines occur every day.

J. Thomas Rompel’s first book, Citizen Warrior – 4th Branch, was Runner-Up for the 2016 Shelf Unbound Best Indie Book Award.

His second book, Citizen Warrior – One Down, is the powerful sequel that readers cannot put down.

J. Thomas Rompel is currently working on the third installment of his Citizen Warrior Series.

Praise for Author J. Thomas Rompel

5 Star Review

Will get the adrenalin Flowing

"This was a great book! This book that got the adrenalin flowing. I have experienced this kind of emotion while reading with only one other book and it was not near the level of this book. It brought out many concerns we all have wit the current government and criminal situation. Don't read this book if you are a weakling or to timid to consider protecting yourself and family. It will cause you to think!"

5 Star Review

A must read for every patriotic American!

"Citizen Warrior-4th Branch is one of those books you just can't put down. This is one of the most spellbinding books I have read in a very long time. You feel the gripping fear, the rush of adrenaline and the chest bursting pride throughout the entire book. The characters feel very real based on the insights as to what has brought them to this point in their lives. Such great perception about what is happening in our country at this time and how ill prepared and unaware most people are. Although it is fiction, since it's based on real life events, it makes you think about current events and just how much cover up there is. I can't wait for the sequel!"

Great Story!

"The action begins immediately and doesn't let up. The characters are believable and likeable. The storyline is more truth than fiction in our politically correct country."

5 Star Review

A perfect sequel to The Fourth Branch

"I really like the idea of the fourth branch. But I especially like the author's use of the present tense of our government mentioning our last president and our current president without using their names. It puts reality into the book, making it seem like such an idea of a fourth branch, a citizenry group of protectors of our country and our way of life. 

I can't wait for the next book in the series."

5 Star Review

Couldn’t put this book down till the ending

"This is a fast-paced, gripping story that, for me, was a cover-to-cover read. The characters are well developed and the theme action-packed and contemporary. Though a work of fiction, I see parallels to today’s America. Highly recommended; especially suited for those readers who empathize with Citizen Warriors and can envisage themselves in one or another role of the protagonists."
