Karen Walker is an ex-homicide detective slowly recovering from the trauma of an automobile accident in which she was injured and her husband was killed when a drunk driver struck the car she was operating. After a year of surgeries and attempts to come to terms with her feelings of guilt, she finds herself living the narrow life of a semi-recluse. Her seclusion comes to an end when an old friend from college, Clarissa Hammett, asks Karen to help in the search for her missing sister, Justine. Karen agrees, and she goes to live alone in the family’s summer home on the coast of southern Maine, which Justine was occupying at the time of her disappearance. Karen even goes one step further and takes on Justine’s job as hostess in a local restaurant, hoping to learn more about the missing woman’s life from her co-workers. Conversations with the sister’s estranged husband, her present boyfriend, and a mentally disturbed young girl on the beach, lead Karen to believe that Justine’s disappearance was not voluntary and that, if still alive, she may desperately need help.

I was born in Passaic, New Jersey, and grew up in the nearby city of Clifton.  After graduating from Clifton High School, I attended the Newark College of Arts and Sciences branch of Rutgers University where I received an AB in political science.  I went on to graduate school at Cornell University where I earned an MA in government.  After serving in the Army in Vietnam, I returned to graduate school at Columbia University where I got an MA and PhD in philosophy.  For the next ten years, I held a variety of jobs, most in the field of education.  I also got married and began writing fiction.  I later started teaching philosophy at Western New England University in Springfield, Massachusetts where I am today a professor emeritus.  During my time teaching I continued to write mysteries, first for young people, then for adults, as I still do today.  My stories combine suspense, romance, and humor with a hopefully thought-provoking mystery.

Genre: Humor

Who do you think of when you think of a banker? Perhaps you think of the bankers trying to foreclose on Kevin Costner's farm in Field of Dreams? Bankers are usually portrayed as jerks who are trying to foreclose on widows and orphans. I have been a banker for nearly forty years and I want to show you some different sides to one banker - me.
I come from a family of story tellers, from my father's mother's family, the Gillhams. When a Gillham told a story at the campfire, you could feel the heat of the sun beating down and hear the calling of an owl just as if you were there.
The stories in this book are half from banking and half from my hunting, my dogs, and my childhood. Some of the stories are humorous, some are serious, and some are a little of both. As you read, you will hopefully share my puzzlement as I listen to a loan request, feel the pounding of a buck's hooves on the dirt as it gallops toward me, and hear my father's whistle. If you do, I have accomplished my goal in writing this book. http://www.kenmixontexasbanker.com/

Read an Excerpt

“Then what do you want?”
“Excuse me?”
“You know my name? Know I live nearby? Know I grew up not far from here?” He crossed his arms. “What do you want?”
She didn’t answer for a second. “I’m a reporter.”
He chuckled. The men on the beach lifted the tarp, but they blocked his view. “Looks like you’ve got quite the story on your hands. First on the scene.”
“I’m not that kind of reporter.”
“You’re not?”
“No. I work for Lifestyle magazine.”
Lifestyle, huh? What lifestyle are you interested in?”
“Yours.”
He smirked. “Let me guess. You want to interview me?”
“I do.”
“Why?”
“Why not? Everyone wants to get an interview with you. You’re a millionaire playboy who’s become a recluse. The Howard Hughes of our time. You’re a huge scoop.”
“No thanks.”
“Why not? Don’t you want the world to know the truth?”
“What truth?”
“That you’re not as messed up as they say you are. That you’re not a drug user or psychotic. That you’re not building sandcastles in your bedroom in your free time. Or tying up seagulls and eating them for lunch.”
He grimaced. “Is that what they’re saying about me?”
“Depends on the magazine.”
He shook his head. “I’m obviously not keeping up on current trends.”
“So tell them that you don’t do any of those things.”
He tilted his head. “And how do you know I don’t?”
She didn’t say anything, but her eyes moved back to the beach. The men were moving the body into a zippered bag. They tried to keep the bystanders from watching by holding up a blanket, but a strong gust of wind blew and the blanket moved and he got a quick but clear view of the woman. A chill shot through him when he realized he recognized her. He knew the victim.
“Oh my God.”
“What?” she asked.
He felt the blood leave his face, and he stared at the sand.
“You okay?”
He looked for his dog. “Max?” He saw Max chasing a seagull.
“Mr. Steele?”
Max ran up to him and shook out the water on his coat. “Let’s go, Max.”
“Please, Mr. Steele. Would you consider it?”
He didn’t answer her. His wooden legs didn’t want to move, but he forced them over the sand, the face of the victim echoing in his mind. He blinked and tried to think back. When had he seen her last? Calculating the time in his head, he grimaced when he remembered. Three days. It had been three days since he’d slept with her. He felt the urge to lose his pizza, but he held it back. Picking up his pace, he walked fast through the sand and ignored the reporter behind him.
“Mr. Steele? Are you okay? Can I follow up with you later?”
Leaving the scene, he said nothing.



Born and raised in Dallas, TX, J. T. Bishop began writing in 2012. Inspired by a video that theorized the meaning of the end of the Mayan calendar, J. T. began the Red-Line trilogy. The video surmised that the earth was the central hub of activity for extraterrestrials thousands of years ago. J.T. didn’t know whether that was true or not, but it did spawn an idea. What if those extraterrestrials were still here? Two years and a lot of work later, the first three Red-Line books were complete, but she’s not done. The Red-Line saga develops as she continues to write new books.
