Emily Graham Adventures #2
Distraction
There have always been people warning us that technology could not be trusted. “Someone might use it against us!” they said. “Someone might find a way to take the things we have created to serve us, and use them as a way to destroy us!” they said. Today, it looks like those people may have been right.
A small group of men with the power to do anything they desire has chosen to use that power to make their empires even larger. After ten years of preparation, the attacks begin. But, something goes wrong.
Once again, Agent Emily Graham finds herself in the role of having to uncover the truth of what is happening, who is behind it, and how to stop it.
And once again, she discovers that, sometimes, what you see and hear is not reality. It is just…Distraction!

About the author
J.B. Jamison
6 books26 followersJ.B. Jamison also writes as Pops Jamison
2017 was the year that John Jamison turned 65 and signed-up for Medicare. It was also the year that as J. B. Jamison, he published his first novel called Disruption, as Pops Jamison he published his first children’s book, and as John B. Jamison he signed a contract for his fourth collection of stories with C. S. S. Publishing. A long-time believer in the power of stories, John saw sixty-five as just another bookmark in his personal story…a story of possibilities.
Twenty-five years ago he found himself at Mayo Clinic where he was diagnosed with a serious illness. “I asked the doctor what I could expect and he said, ‘Oh, it’s going to kill you. It might be three years, seven at the most, or maybe tomorrow.’ The guy’s bedside policy was not all that great.” Some reflection led to a career- change into education, and now some 20 years later Jamison hopes to one day cross paths with that doctor again. “I’d like to talk with him about his math”, Jamison says.
Jamison is a believer in the view that while we may have little control over what comes to us each day, we have full control over what we do in response. And he see stories as a powerful way to get through those sometimes challenging days… and sometimes…to just imagine some fun things and have a good time.
After using stories throughout his career and personal life, Jamison decided that sixty-five was a great time to change directions once again and spend more time writing and sharing some of his stories. His background of growing up in a river and towboat family from Beardstown gives him a unique collection of stories. “I grew up in a family of storytellers and liars, and I spent most of my time trying to figure out which was which.” And now his two grandchildren provide the inspiration for his children’s books.
Today, after another novel and more children’s books, John isn’t slowing down. “I feel things creaking when I get up in the morning, and it’s getting harder to bend over far enough to tie my shoes, but I can still tell a good story,” Jamison says. “I’m having fun spending my time on the things I can do, and not wasting my time thinking about the rest.”
John Jamison is available for interviews and speaking engagements.

This book is seriously under-read and under-reviewed. I found it to be suspenseful, creative, and engaging with an interesting cast of characters. In some ways this reminded me of THE STAND by Stephen King. A lot of characters experiencing a disaster simultaneously. Well done.

Emily is back. She is getting stronger with each book.
Calling all techno thriller readers. This book will be right up your reading alley. It starts out with a bang. Here is the opening scene: Two guys are attending a baseball game. They press a button on and people all around the stadium start falling down as their pacemakers stop working. EMTs are scrambling to get to everyone. The two men walk out of the stadium.
Emily is on the hunt. She seems to be right on the tail of the hackers. The tone of this book is fast paced. There is not a dull moment to be found. The plot is one that I do really like to read. So I was very engaged. Plus, it helped that I like Emily. The story had a good ending. There is nothing worse to read a book only to get to the ending and have it be a let down. Mr. Jamison knows how to write and he proves it with this series.
