About the author
Jed Power
21 books16 followers I am a Hampton Beach, NH based writer and an “Active” member of Mystery Writers of America. My three crime novels, “The Boss of Hampton Beach,” “Hampton Beach Homicide,” and “Blood On Hampton Beach” are all available in trade paper and e-versions. The fourth book in the series, “The Honeymoon Hotel” will be out Memorial Day 2015. The protagonist in all four novels is Hampton Beach, NH bartender, Dan Marlowe.
The real Dan Marlowe was my father’s best friend. Mr. Marlowe wrote his crime masterpiece, “The Name of the Game is Death,” while living with my family in Woburn, MA. He named a character in the novel after me. I’ve returned the honor by naming my protagonist Dan Marlowe.
I also have a completed crime novel, “The Combat Zone,” about a PI who hangs his hat in 1970’s Harvard Square and spends time in the Combat Zone, Boston’s red-light district. This novel made it into the final cut (5 novels) in the Minotaur/Private Eye Writers of America “Best First Private Eye Novel” competition. It will be published as an ebook and trade paper in April 2015. I am now working on the second book in this series.
I also collect vintage Noir/Hardboiled paperbacks which includes, among many other items, the largest collection of Dan Marlowe novels, short stories, inscribed items and memorabilia.
I am mentioned several times in the new Dan Marlowe biography, “Gunshots In Another Room,” by journalist Charles Kelly.
I have been published in “Spinetingler,” “Over My Dead Body,” “Boys’ Life,” “Hardboiled,” “Suspense Magazine,” “Stone Cold--Best New England Crime Stories,” “Shotgun Honey,” “Plan B,” “The Rap Sheet,” “Naked Kiss,” “Yellow Mama,” “Short Story Digest,” “Near to the Knuckle,” “All Due Respect,” “Short--Story.me,” “Bethlehem Writer’s Roundtable,” “KIngs River Life,” “Twist of Noir,” and others.
