The Cayman Files

A fictional reckoning. Based on a story they don't want told.

An offshore bank. A dead lawyer in a beachfront condo. A widow's notebook full of names that shouldn't be there. When the compliance officer goes missing and the press starts asking questions, the people who profit from quiet money decide it's time to remind everyone who runs this island.

Fifteen chapters. One season. A noir thriller wrapped around the truth about how dirty money sleeps at night — and what it costs to wake it up.

Don Canada Jr. writes the way he runs businesses — sharp, strategic, no wasted motion. Twenty-plus years operating in employee benefits, financial advisory, and the rooms where real money gets moved have given him a working knowledge of how the world's quiet machines actually run.

He writes fiction the way a forensic accountant writes a memo: every detail is there because it matters. The Cayman Files is his first thriller. It will not be his last.

"The best fiction is just the truth with the names changed and the lawyers paid."

Based in Fort Worth, Texas. Trains for 70.3 triathlons when he isn't writing. Reads Chandler, watches Mamet, listens to anyone who'll tell him the real story.

The House

Off the Grid Publishing.
The imprint, the model, the rules.

A direct-to-reader publishing house built for authors who are tired of giving away seventy percent of their work to people who didn't write it. Audiobooks, e-books, signed editions, and reader memberships — sold from the author's own house, on the author's own terms.

— 01

The author keeps the lion's share.

Direct sales infrastructure means roughly 98% of revenue lands where it should — with the person who wrote the book.

— 02

The reader gets the real thing.

Full audiobooks. Signed editions. Bonus chapters. Private dispatches. No algorithm deciding what shows up in the feed.

— 03

The work answers to no one.

No editorial committee softening the edges. No platform deciding what's allowed to be said. The story arrives the way the author meant it.
