UK Bestselling Thriller Writer Jack Jordan Is Headed to American Shelves — And Screens! (Exclusive)

**Jack Jordan: UK Author Set to Make Waves in North America with Thrilling Novels**

Jack Jordan, a celebrated author known for his gripping thrillers, is set to captivate readers in North America with his upcoming eight-book deal with Hanover Square Press. His novels, well-received in the United Kingdom, will make their debut in the US and Canada, starting with his latest release, *Conviction*, in 2027.

At just 33 years old, Jordan has already established himself as a significant figure in the literary world. His unique ability to weave complex moral dilemmas into narratives has earned him the title of the “Master of the Moral Dilemma.” In an exclusive interview, he expressed his excitement at the prospect of introducing his work to an even larger audience: “The American readers I have so far that have found my work from across the pond have become avid readers,” he stated. “I can’t wait for that readership to expand and for the conversations to grow.”

Despite his current success, Jordan’s path to becoming a bestselling author was not straightforward. Raised in a working-class family in Essex, he grew up immersed in literature, reading works by renowned writers such as Jacqueline Wilson and Malorie Blackman. However, the notion of becoming a novelist seemed out of reach. “I’ve always been the kind of writer that was counted out,” he shared. With limited educational opportunities, Jordan’s drive to succeed led him to write secretly for a year after composing his first story on a Blackberry at the age of 17.

Jordan’s initial attempts at writing were met with skepticism from those around him, many of whom doubted his ambitions. “I had many people in my life who would laugh and go, ‘You can’t be a writer,’” he recalled. However, this dismissal only fueled his determination. “I’ve always had this fire in my gut that says, ‘I’ll prove you wrong,’” he added.

As he honed his craft, Jordan gravitated towards the thriller genre, focusing on darker themes and moral complexities. His debut novel, *Anything for Her*, was released in 2015, but it was his 2022 medical thriller, *Do No Harm*, that marked a turning point in his career. Drawn from personal experience, the novel explores the unsettling notion of trust in medical professionals, a fear Jordan encountered during a medical procedure. “The procedure went well, but when I woke up, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if the people in the room had ill intentions,” he mused.

Jordan’s distinctive storytelling approach has resonated with a broad audience in the UK, particularly within book clubs and among diverse age groups. “There’s readers I know, we’re on a first-name basis because they’ve been there since the start,” he remarked, highlighting the close connection he has built with his fans. His work’s impact is further emphasised by personal encounters; he recently met a taxi driver who was an avid reader of his books.

As Jordan embarks on this new chapter in North America, he is not just transitioning from page to screen but also adapting his work into a Hulu television series starring Elisabeth Moss. He will serve as an executive producer on the adaptation of *Conviction*, which marks the first in a series of planned television projects. “To think that a story I wrote at my breakfast table has suddenly become these phenomenal sets and played by such talented people… it was so beyond a dream come true,” he reflected on his experience visiting the show’s set in New York.

This duality of storytelling—writing novels while engaging in the collaborative process of producing television—excites Jordan. “What I love is that producing is such a collaborative aspect, whereas novel writing is that kind of insular exploration,” he explained. Striking a balance between the two allows him to engage with others while also having the space to delve deeply into his own narratives.

Looking ahead, Jordan aims to ensure his new North American readers feel the same lingering impact he seeks in his stories. With several upcoming novels set in the United States, he hopes his growing audience will find themselves craving more. “I love stories that stay with you and haunt you,” Jordan concluded, affirming his belief that his books resonate well beyond the final page.

As Jack Jordan prepares to unveil his work to the North American market, both readers and critics alike are eagerly anticipating the thrilling journeys he has crafted, filled with intricate characters and profound moral dilemmas.
