The Ethan Hayes Series
August Rowan is the author of Under Scrutiny and The Sentinel Protocol — novels that blend psychological tension, institutional secrecy, and moral consequence. His work often centers on intelligent people under pressure—watchers, investigators, reluctant witnesses, and men who discover too late that the truth has a cost.
Before turning to fiction, Rowan worked in communications and investigative research, experiences that shape the precision and atmosphere of his novels. He writes character-driven thrillers where loyalty is unstable, power hides in plain sight, and every answer exposes a deeper question.
He lives in Virginia and is at work on his next novel.
