edit data

Jaer Armstead-Jones has been a middle school English teacher in the St. Louis area since 2007 (known as Mr. Jarrod Jones). He earned a bachelor’s degree in media communications from Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri, and a master’s degree in secondary education from the University of Phoenix.

Throughout his teaching of reading and writing, he has always had a burning desire to write books for middle grade and high school teens that they can relate to, find enjoyment in, and books that are alluring to keep them in a state of suspense. My Invisible Father is his first novel. He has also written for a local St. Louis newspaper as a reporter/writer covering stories from politics, to sports and education, to business.

It took me a while to get through this book. Originally I began reading it for research for writing my upcoming novel. As I continued to read, I noticed how much I disagreed with the writer’s perspective, even though I understand why she believes her ...more

This guy just doesn't miss. I don't understand how anyone gives any of the Orphan X books a rating below a 3.5. Evan Smoak is an ever-evolving character who does extraordinary things physically but is as messed up emotionally as any ordinary person. ...more

Despite the annoying (sorry, not sorry) number of cheesy metaphors and similes, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was like reading a movie script. And despite the gory content, it was visually exceptional. That first plot twist had my head spinning ...more

This one is different. It’s difficult to read—not because the writing is bad, but because the subject matter is difficult to deal with. I appreciate that Hurwitz doesn’t shy away from topics that are uncomfortable and touchy. His message, however, is ...more
