About the author
George Jared
6 books34 followersMy name is George Jared, and I'm an author and investigative journalist that has written three, true-crime books, “Witches in West Memphis … and another false confession,” and “The Creek Side Bones … reality is more horrifying than fiction," and "Whispers in the Willows."
I followed those with my first fiction novel, co-written by my daughter, Megan, "A Novel Wait."
My fifth book is a true crime "Silent Silhouette" co-written by Jennifer Bucholtz.
Witches chronicles the West Memphis Three case and another murder case involving a false confession in Gosnell. I've written more news stories about WM3 than any journalist in the world. I was cited in the Academy Award nominated documentary about the case, “Paradise Lost Three: Purgatory” and I was also cited in Damien Echols' New York Times best-selling autobiography, “Life After Death.” I interviewed him while he was still on Arkansas' Death Row, and I broke the story when he and his cohorts were released from prison in 2011.
I've won numerous accolades including 11 first place awards with Associated Press Managing Editors and Arkansas Press Association for investigative journalism, feature writing, spot news, headline writing, and others. The front cover of Creek Side was selected in 2017 by the Arkansas library system for its poster chronicling the best works produced in the state during the last year. I've been interviewed by numerous newspapers, and media outlets for my coverage of that case and other capital murder cases I've covered through the years.
I'm very passionate about journalism and these cases I've covered. I hope readers enjoy both these books, and I'm always open to fair criticism and comments.

Great Book
The best work of fiction I've read in years. Couldn't put it down. A must read!! Easy to follow and wonderfully set in what's been happening in our world.

Page turner, can’t put down, what happens next, must keep reading until I finish it. I love books that have twists and turns I don’t see coming. Highly recommend.

I love this book so much! I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next book. The author/authors left me on a cliff hanger. I need to know what is going to happen to the main character. This would make a great TV series. This book is a must read! Very entertaining and exciting.
