"Nashville Private Investigator Jared McKean has a son with
Down Syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, an ex-wife he can't seem
to fall out of love with, and a weakness for women in
jeopardy--until one frames him for murder."
His DNA and fingerprints
are found at the murder scene. His voice is on
the victim's answering machine. A man of his
height and build was seen leaving the scene of
the crime, and the victim was killed by a bullet
from his gun. This grim situation is further
complicated by matters closer to home: a son
with Down Syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, a
teen-age nephew who has just come out of the
closet and run away to join the Goth subculture,
and an ex-wife he can't seem to fall out of love
with. As the mystery deepens and the body count
rises, Jared is forced to confront the
possibility that the killer may be someone close
to him, someone he trusts. This time, an
unsolved case could cost him his life.

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Listed Pages: Home
is where the heart is, and also where, when you have to go
there, they have to take you in, and also where you are right
now.
About the Author is where you'll find FAQ's and a few
personal items, such favorite
links unrelated to reading and writing, articles, interviews,
personal photos, and a dream journal.
Links for Writers includes links to sites about
marketing, technique, research, books on writing, conferences,
and other writing-related goodies.
Other Authors is a list, including links, of some of
my favorite authors. Some are mystery writers, some are fantasy
writers, some work in other genres. Some you will have heard of.
Others may be new to you, but if you can't find something here
to like, I'll eat...um...a hot fudge sundae.
Calendar of Events is where you can find out where
I'll be signing, speaking, or otherwise hobnobbing around.
News is just a place to keep you up-to-date on what's
been happening with me, the book, other writers I know, and
anything else I think you might find interesting.
The
Online Writing Course is under construction
and seems likely to be under construction for the next two
decades. When
it's finished, it will be a series of brief lessons on writing
in general. There's probably a strong emphasis on character
development (I can't help it; for me, characters are what it's
all about), but you'll find sections on plotting, dialogue,
revision, and just plain having fun with Storytelling. Go ahead
and dive in. It's free.

Jared McKean Mysteries, and you'll find a

reviewers, and readers. |
