Independent author behind Robert Anthony Books expands from a 2022 release to six titles, multiple crime fiction series, and a seventh book now in development.
NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — After a career shaped by the high-stakes world of Wall Street dealmaking, Anthony Eddolls took an unexpected turn: moving to Upcountry Maui and building a new chapter of his life as an independent crime fiction author. What began with the publication of Crossing Over in 2022 has since developed into a growing body of work published through his independent label, Robert Anthony Books LLC. Four years later, Eddolls has six published titles, a completed trilogy, multiple recurring characters and storylines, and a seventh book in development, with an anticipated release in November 2026. The progression reflects a transition that Eddolls believes is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as simply a second act or personal experiment.
“I started with one book and a story I wanted to tell,” said Eddolls. “Now, with six titles published and another underway, I’m building something much larger. My focus is on continuing to develop compelling characters and stories that give readers a reason to come back for the next book.”
Eddolls writes within the crime and thriller space, creating stories built around investigations, danger, international intrigue, and characters operating in high-pressure environments. His growing catalog includes the Special Agent Elliott Murphy Adventures and the Special Agent David Stilley Adventures. The Elliott Murphy series began with Crossing Over and has expanded to include additional titles such as The Final Cross. Eddolls has also continued developing his fictional universe through the David Stilley adventures, while exploring new stories and series concepts for future publication.
Across his books, Eddolls has accumulated approximately 350 Amazon reader ratings, with an average rating of about 4.3 stars, an encouraging response for an independently published author building an audience title by title. His work is intended for readers who enjoy the pacing, suspense, international scope, and recurring protagonists associated with contemporary crime and thriller fiction. Eddolls points to bestselling writers such as Daniel Silva and David Baldacci as examples of the broader genre in which he is working while developing his own characters, settings, and voice.
Behind the growing catalog is an equally significant personal reinvention. Trading the financial world for life in Kula, Hawaii, Eddolls has approached publishing with an entrepreneurial mindset. Rather than treating each novel as an isolated project, he has been steadily building Robert Anthony Books as an independent publishing platform, revising earlier works, introducing new editions and covers, developing interconnected series, and creating a direct relationship with readers.
That effort accelerated during the summer of 2026, when Eddolls completed and published two new novels while also revising and updating four previous books and replacing covers across his catalog. The result is a body of work that looks considerably different from where it began four years ago.
For Eddolls, however, the six books already published represent only the foundation. Work is progressing on book seven, with an anticipated November release, and another series is in development. The strategy going forward is to continue expanding the catalog while introducing more readers to the characters and stories that have emerged from Robert Anthony Books.
Anthony Eddolls is an independent crime fiction author and the founder of Robert Anthony Books LLC. After a career in the world of Wall Street dealmaking, Eddolls relocated to Upcountry Maui and turned his attention to writing and independent publishing. Since releasing Crossing Over in 2022, he has built a catalog of six published titles spanning multiple crime fiction series, with a seventh book currently in development.
He lives and writes in Kula, Hawaii.
