"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.

Click on Jared McKean Mysteries, and you'll find a link to the first ten pages, as well as reviews from authors, reviewers, and readers.
