Hi everyone! I’m author JD Stephens. I write soft-boiled detective fiction with a big helping of romance. My main character and narrator is a cool, talented guy named Jameson “Jamie” Halloran. He’s a private eye in a fictional West Virginia city called Angel Run. His partner in the business and in life is his wife Pip. They are madly in love and love working together. With the help of Jamie’s best buddy, Otis Cantwell, they help the helpless and bring the bad guys to justice.

To learn more about me and my writing, take a look at my blog, which you’ll find by clicking on the “My Train of Thought” tab. Right now, I’m in the midst of a series of short stories I’ve written over the last several months. I hope you like them!

I am truly excited about my newest book, Home To My Arms: A Halloran Mystery. You can check out some excerpts in my blog. I’d love your input on them. I’ll be working over the coming months on my query letter and researching agents and publishers for when my letter is ready. I’ll keep you up to date on my progress.

Have You Joined My Mailing List?

Before you move on, I’d love it if you’d scroll down just a bit and join my mailing list. It’ll take seconds, and you’ll get another free story! This one’s a bit longer than the two I’ve posted and is a little darker in tone. I promise I’ll never sell or give away your info, and you’ll always be the first to hear all the important news, like book titles, cover reveals, publication dates, and (someday) public appearances. And you’ll always get to buy my books at a member’s rate. So, I hope you’ll consider it.

Joe
