"Magnum PI meets Tim McGraw."
Craig Combs, Atlanta, Georgia
- I first saw Jared McKean leaning against a wooden fence. His arms were crossed, and he was wearing jeans and a brown leather bomber jacket that I knew had once belonged to his father. He was waiting for me to give up trying to write a novel featuring a feisty female detective I didn't understand, come to my senses, and give him a series of his own. It makes not a whit of difference that this encounter occurred entirely in my mind.
- On the surface, Jared and I have little in common. He's a man; I'm a woman. He's tall, rangy, and athletic; I'm built like a potato bug. He's brave; I'm the kind of person who, when I go into a Laundromat, checks to see which dryer I will hide in if a knife-wielding maniac comes through the door. Yet, I understand him better than I've ever understood anyone in my life. He has a journey to take and a story to tell, and I am honored to be the one to tell it.
- "You know he's not real," a friend once said.
- "I'm a writer," I answered. "Half the people I know aren't real."
