Jay Mackey grew up in Montana, and, after picking up a couple of degrees, he moved to Cincinnati. There he met and married the love of his life, and they’ve been very fortunate to have raised two brilliant children. Jay’s career has been mostly in advertising.
Jay is a voracious reader, and writes what he likes to read. That is, fast-paced, fun-to-read thrillers. Some have some sci-fi elements, while some do not.
Jay’s first, THE THIRD RESCUE, is about an ancestry search gone bad.
His second, RUNNER BOY, is about the immediate after-effects of an EMP, focused on one family. In both, Jay puts ordinary people in extraordinary situations, and the thrills, adventure and drama come from that. We also see how characters we care about deal with crises. Sometimes they do well. Sometimes they don’t.
His third, RIDER KID, is the second in the Runner Boy series. We see the survivors of the EMP and its after-effects struggle with new challenges.
For his fourth, Jay wrote a stand-alone, LIES, about an aging widower who gets involved in a real-estate deal which goes bad. Very bad.
Jay is currently at work on his next thriller.
