Cinematic writing ripped from the headlines and rooted in unique personal experience. Real-life espionage, brutally realistic warfare, and first-hand insights from nooks and corners all over the globe. High stakes in global business and politics? Sure—tell him about it. Better yet, Wellstone will tell it all to you, as honestly and as entertainingly as possible.
Background
He has never served in the military, never worked in intelligence, and never written a single line of code. But he has crossed paths with the people who do—more often, and more closely, than he might have preferred. In short, he has seen the rough edges of those worlds up close, and those encounters left their mark.
Cole Wellstone is the pen name of Ukrainian author Nicholas (Mykola) Tymoshchuk. A seasoned executive, he has led investment companies valued in the hundreds of millions and directed public relations for major transnational corporations. Over a career spanning more than twenty years, his work has carried him across Europe, America, and Asia.
As you might guess, that journey has been anything but ordinary. The violence of markets, the psychology of power, the fragile line between risk and reward—these are not abstractions to him. They are lived experience. And now they find their way onto the page, shaping stories that feel real because, in many ways, they are.
