Black Friday Sale & New Stickers

I’ve got some news for y’all readers and I’ll back it up with some pictures in this post.

If you’re interested in still pre-ordering The Ballad of the Great Value Boys, or picking up a personalized copy with a cool new Ken Harris Fiction logo sticker, I got you. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Ken, what if I want to pick up the entire tetralogy (4 book series)? Then the early Black Friday Sale is what you’re looking for. Did you pick up The Pine Barrens Stratagem in support of the Andy Andrist Cancer Fundraiser and never move on? Well, make me an offer on See You Next Tuesday and we can haggle. Same goes for A Bad Bout of the Yips. Pretend you’re at the Saturday morning flea market and hit me up! I will get these to you in plenty of time to wrap and get under the Christmas tree.

500 Preorders or Hypothermia?

I’ve chosen to do a daily polar plunge off of my dock until “The Ballad of the Great Value Boys” reaches 500 preorders.

Join me on a daily journey of self torture. Can I get close to the goal before I’m rushed to the hospital in November? Tune in and see. The video will be uploaded each day to my socials.

Copies can be preordered HERE with special promo code JAWNIE for 15% off!

Rockfish 4 – Preorder is Live

Preorder your copy of The Ballad of the Great Value Boys.

Audio in a Week – Paperback Now!

One week from today, in a two part episode ( September 13th & 20th) my short story “Did Not See That Coming” will air on the Mysteries to Die for Podcast. Available at this LINK or your favorite podcast app. 

If old school is more your style, the second half of Season 7 published as a paperback anthology today and you can grab a copy from Amazon. If you think holding a personalized copy in your hands is the way to go, I got you. Come Holla!

Steve Rockfish isn’t thrilled to cover for his partner, Jawnie McGee, at the Women Investigators in Crime Conference. Estelle Cummings, the winner of the conference’s “Dinner with Jawnie McGee Contest” isn’t happy either. Much to Rockfish’s chagrin, a virtual Jawnie agrees to assist Estelle in laying fresh eyes on a cold case forgotten after almost 50 years. 

In 1976, kids in the small town of Ewan played Army under a crisp Autumn sun. In the fields and forests, they killed and captured the German, Vietnamese and Soviet soldiers their older brothers, uncles and fathers had enlisted to fight against for real. After one such battle, eight-year-old Karen Lazar goes MIA and five years later her body turns up, fresh as the day she went missing.  

Rockfish and Estelle battle years long gone and a list of witnesses, suspects & retired investigators who are either dead, uncooperative or in the throes of dementia in an effort to bring the identity of the murderer to light.
