HOLY CRAP! Free eBook promo on Amazon. I retired from the pharmaceutical industry almost 10 years ago. I was a workaholic, worked sometimes six-and-a-half days a week. The time had come for me to move on to something else, but what. As an avid reader of science fiction and murder mysteries, I decided to try my hand at writing mysteries. For those of you who know me and wonder what I’ve been up to, here’s a chance for you to get a glimpse of one of my books, for free. Got to johnjjessop.com for the link to Amazon to get the book for free. HOLY CRAP! Free Book Promo on Amazon
I get great joy out of writing. Literally anything that one can imagine can be put down on paper, no matter how far out, scary, ridiculous, or humorous. And it really gets my creative juices flowing. Thanks to my youngest daughter, with her degree in media arts and design, she taught me how to also design my own book covers using Adobe Photoshop. That’s even more fun and creative. HOLY CRAP!

It hasn’t been easy transforming from technical writing, which I used to do as part of my pharmaceutical career in drug development, to writing fiction. However, I have met many people along the way who helped me, including other writers in the various writing groups I have joined. It’s great fun to work with other writers and hear their many varied backgrounds and ideas for fiction novels. Based on what I’ve seen, most everyone has a story to tell, at least one or two good books inside them, waiting to emerge. HOLY CRAP! Free Book Promo on Amazon
Anyhow, I thoroughly enjoyed my almost forty years working for the FDA and then Biologics Consulting. I met many nice people along the way, and enjoyed working with them in drug development. However, I can honestly say that I have no regrets about retiring and taking up writing. I started with serious murder mysteries, a terrorist/serial killer and an evil cult leader. Then I decided not to take life so seriously, and graduated to comedy murder mysteries. HOLY CRAP! Free Book Promo on Amazon
My PI couple of Dr. Jason Longfellow and his nurse wife Chelsea are a blast to write. The PI thing was Jason’s idea, but it’s Chelsea who turns out to be the real badass detective. Their dialogue alone will crack you up, and the plots of these mysteries are wild and crazy, and yet based very, very loosely on pharmacological and biotech principles. What fun! From drug development to books using this same information to write murder mysteries. Turns out, the pharmaceutical industry is quite the fertile ground for wacky imaginary murder. HOLY CRAP!
