About R.A. Flannagan

R.A. Flannagan is R.A.’s pen name. He is the author of the CANZUK At War series, which includes the novel Take Whiteman (2022), Red Blue Storm (2023), and the novella Caribbean Payback (2022).

R.A.’s varied career and life experiences have only recently allowed him to take up writing. Despite the delay, he’s enjoying the work immensely and intends to write more novels, including the Book 3 of the CANZUK at War series, which has been titled Wraith Horizon.

R.A.’s writing skills have been honed over twenty-plus years as an administrator in the Canadian public service, university and municipal government.

Way back in the day, and not to overstate its importance, R.A. did put three years into Canada’s army reserves. The experience was enough to tell him the military life was not for him. Picture from below is in 1993 at Canadian Forces Base North Bay.

With his keen interest in politics, defence-related issues and with his always firing imagination, R.A. writes speculative military thriller novels for people who are looking for an alternative to the many wonderful stories out there that focus on the United States.

On the personal front, R.A. lives in outside Ottawa in farm country with his wife and daughter.
