The James Early Reader

by Jerry Peterson

Overview

James Early has been driving the highways and back roads of Kansas since 2004, tracking down killers, thieves, and escapees. But his life is more than that. It's also family and friends. You will meet for the first time or perhaps re-meet several of what today we would call James Early's BFFs-Mose Dickerson, John Silver Fox, and particularly Buck Thompson featured in the last two stories in the book, Thompson whose life Early had saved in World War II. And holidays, particularly Christmas. My James Early Christmas stories I think are exceptional. If you've not read them before, you can in this book, along with 12 other James Early short stories, five of the stories never before published.

About the Author

Jerry Peterson writes crime novels and short stories set in Kansas, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
He's published 17 novels and short story collections, most under his own imprint.

"Killing Ham", Peterson's current project, features John Wads, a former military police investigator who becomes involved in clearing a friend charged with the murder of a man who managed a large corporate hog-finishing farm.

Before becoming a writer, Peterson taught speech, English and theater in Wisconsin high schools, then worked in communications for farm organizations for a decade in Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, and Colorado. He followed that with a decade as a reporter, photographer, and editor for newspapers in Colorado, West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Peterson now lives and writes in his home state of Wisconsin, the land of dairy cows, craft beer, and really good books.
