Tim Storrs writes cinematic espionage and noir fiction — stories where trust fractures under pressure, and every action carries weight. His work sits at the intersection of power, intimacy, and consequence, favoring restraint and atmosphere over spectacle.

He is the founder of Creative 1 Publishing, an independent imprint built to develop long-form fiction outside traditional gatekeeping systems. Through the imprint, Storrs has released a growing catalog of novels available worldwide on Amazon and directly through his site, with new and past work added continuously.

Storrs' fiction is character-first: morally complex figures operating in worlds where the wrong move has a cost. Readers looking for spy fiction and noir with genuine interiority — not just plot mechanics — will find a consistent voice across the catalog.

THE SUPPRESSOR

A Vic Nolan Novel

THE MANIFEST

He doesn't kill for country. He doesn't kill for cause. He kills — and disappears, and solves the impossible — for whoever's willing to pay for the truth nobody else can touch.

Vic Nolan is enjoying three quiet days in Paris — excellent coffee, better company, and the kind of silence a man in his profession learns never to take for granted — when a French billionaire named Laurent Whitfield offers him two million dollars for what sounds like a simple job: find a missing security consultant before the wrong people do.

It isn't simple. It was never going to be simple.

The missing man isn't running. He's hiding — because he uncovered a conspiracy vast enough to implicate governments, and Whitfield wants him found for reasons considerably darker than "recovery." Within hours, Vic is pulled into the neon sprawl of Hong Kong, chased through wet markets and container ports, and drawn into an uneasy alliance with Sofia Marin — a journalist two years into an investigation that's already cost one man his life, and who may know more about the real target than Vic does.

Standing between them and the truth: Luc Varga, a former Foreign Legion officer who believes power is the only thing that keeps the world from tearing itself apart — and who respects Vic Nolan more than he'd like to admit, right up until one of them doesn't walk away.

From a rain-soaked assassination on the Seine to a storm-lashed gunfight forty feet above a shipping yard, THE MANIFEST is a full-throttle international thriller about a man who never has the perfect plan — only the ability to adapt faster than anyone trying to kill him. Cinematic, unrelenting, and unapologetically fun, it's the first entry in THE SUPPRESSOR series: a new action-thriller franchise for readers who want their heroes competent, their villains dangerous, and their next page-turn already waiting.

The job is never what it looks like. Vic Nolan is never who they expect.

Perfect for fans of Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, and James Bond — a new series built for readers who devour one thriller and immediately need the next.

BLACK JESUS

Collected Stories, Poems, Autobiographical Fictions, and a Few Unclassifiable Things That Happened Anyway

by Tim Storrs

Drawn from life, memory, invention, and experience, Black Jesus gathers stories, poems, autobiographical fictions, and previously unpublished work written across different periods of Tim Storrs’ life.

Set in cities, neighborhoods, bars, apartments, airports, and the spaces between, these pieces explore relationships, chance encounters, creative ambition, misadventures, fleeting conversations, and the strange moments that stay with us long after they’ve passed. Some are inspired by real events, people, and places. Others are entirely imagined. Many live comfortably somewhere in between.

Written over the course of years—and often in a single sitting—these stories retain the immediacy, honesty, and unpredictability of their original form. Funny, reflective, tragic, romantic, absurd, and occasionally unclassifiable, Black Jesus is a return to storytelling at its most direct: one voice, one moment, one page at a time.

These are stories about the people we meet, the places we go, the lives we imagine, and the things that happened anyway.

AVAILABLE NOW

La Sécurité Est Dangereux (Security is Dangerous) is a cinematic literary noir about ambition, risk, and the cost of pursuing an uncompromising vision.

Jim is a writer who always believed his work belonged on film. In a world that has moved on from the raw craft of cinema, he decides to attempt something few people would even consider—producing and starring in a film made the old way, built on real locations, real stunts, and a crew assembled from artists, musicians, and outsiders who share his belief in authenticity.

What begins as a personal project quickly becomes an international pursuit. From Rochester to New York, Toronto to Paris, Jim moves through underground creative circles and dangerous environments, chasing the funding, equipment, and talent required to bring the film to life.

But the deeper the production goes, the more unpredictable everything becomes. Alliances shift. Money tightens. The boundaries between the movie and the life surrounding it begin to dissolve.

Adapted from the author’s original screenplay, La Sécurité Est Dangereux is a raw, atmospheric novel about art, obsession, and the dangerous freedom of refusing to live an ordinary life.

She had one job: deliver the package. One misstep, and everything collapses.

In the shadowed streets of Prague, a highly skilled intelligence courier realizes her cover has been blown. With enemies closing in and only a man she barely trusts at her side, survival becomes a matter of precision, timing, and restraint. The safe house meant to protect them is compromised, secrets surface, and the line between ally and threat begins to erode.

As danger escalates across rain-slick rooftops and narrow alleyways, trust becomes a currency more valuable than bullets—and desire a liability neither of them can afford. Every choice tightens the trap; every step tests instinct, control, and survival.

Fractured Trust is a taut, cinematic espionage short story built on high-stakes tension, clean action, and unresolved intimacy. Written with restraint and momentum, it delivers intelligence, atmosphere, and danger without clichés or excess.

• International espionage set in Prague

• A smart, capable heroine under moral and physical pressure

• A charged partnership where trust is never guaranteed

• Designed for one-sitting, page-turning suspense

Survive the night. Trust no one. But some secrets are worth more than safety.
