Payback Jack

It releases on Jan. 2, 2023. I'm looking forward to this book since it's been a long time coming. Jack Murphy is the hero, and I had the idea of his book at least five years ago.

Jack is an anti-hero. After a career in law enforcement, he just wants to sit on his boat and drink beer. Not get involved is his new mantra.

But when Jack's friends become victims, Jack has no choice but to get involved. Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by J.E. Trent  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There’s nothing like a hot-blooded Filipina with a bad attitude pointing a butterfly knife at you first thing in the morning to get your adrenaline pumping. That wasn’t Mike Murphy’s preferred way to start the day. Once again, Simmy had accused him of cheating on her with another woman. And he was sick of it. It was 6:30 a.m. as the sun rose over Hualalai Mountain and turned the puffy white clouds above Kailua Bay cotton candy pink.”
J.E. Trent, Death In Paradise

“For my wife Eila, who was a continuous source of encouragement to write this story. I’m eternally grateful.”
J.E. Trent, Death In Paradise

“There’s nothing like a hot-blooded Filipina with a bad attitude pointing a butterfly knife at you first thing in the morning”

“The fact is that roughly two-thirds of all fiction purchases are made because the consumer is already familiar with the author.”
Donald Maass, Writing the Breakout Novel: Winning Advice from a Top Agent and His Best-selling Client

“The next biggest reason folks buy fiction is that it has been personally recommended to them by a friend, family member or bookstore employee. That process is called word of mouth. Savvy publishers understand its power and try to facilitate its effect with advance reading copies (ARCs), samplers, first chapters circulated by e-mail, Web sites and the like.”
