Book Description

December 2002
J.W. Coffey's new novel, The Brothers Campbell, the first in a series chronicling the adventures of Stephan and William Campbell, two brothers with different values and one common, deadly enemy. Sir Douglas Campbell, the benefactor to the small town of Edin-on-Norwich, has been brutally murdered in his own home. It is up to his sons to find his killer and avenge his death. But the brothers have two very different perspectives on justice. Stephan, the older brother, embittered at an early age and emotionally scarred, sees justice delivered only by the blade of his sword. William, the younger brother, is filled with a youthful idealism that leads him to believe that there is always an alternative to violence. How will these two work together to find their father's killer, and see that justice is truly delivered?

More About the Author

Jesse V Coffey was born in Kentucky, raised in Florida, and spent half her life in Ohio. Half southern rebel, half yankee sass, she's managed to straddle both sides of the Mason-Dixon line and happily claims both as part of her wild existence. Having a varied employment history--working as everything from fast food cashier to telephone psychic, Ms. Coffey has managed to parlay her life experiences (along with what some would call a too vivid and active imagination)into her novels.

"I never just answer a question, I have to tell a story." And with critics and readers alike, she does it well.

Ms. Coffey is currently a member of ASCAP, the Erotic Authors Association, and writes three columns for the news website, Examiner.com/Lexington, as the Literary Examiner and Writing Examiner for the city of Lexington, KY, where she is a resident, as well as the National Indie Romance Novel Examiner. She also hosts an online radio show titled Edin Road Radio, where she uses her gift of gab to showcase new authors and their books.

Ms. Coffey writes as Jesse V Coffey, J. W. Coffey, and Meggie Chase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventure, Romance and Intrigue, January 18, 2003

LSB (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Brothers Campbell (Paperback)
From the prologue to epilogue, The Brothers Campbell is an exciting ride through 16th century England. William and Stephan Campbell, sons of Sir Douglas, have very different views of life among the gentry. William is idealistic, and somewhat naive about the treacheries that exist within the ruling class of Edin-on-Norwich, believing there is always a peaceful solution to disagreements. Stephan is older, and more 'street smart', having experienced first-hand the injustice of the local baron. When their father is murdered, it is up to the brothers to work together to find the culprit and win justice. That is where the story really starts to fly as we watch these too very different personalities come together, and grow from each other's experience.


Ms. Coffey has drawn the characters vividly and three dimensionally. The settings are authentic, and painted so clearly that it is almost like watching a movie. The plot is quick and plausible, with a lot of action, intrigue, and romance. I find it was like an good old fashioned Errol Flynn movie, where you can't help but cheer the good guys and hiss at the villains.


This is the first book in a planned series of four, and I am definitely looking forward to the next installment.

This review is from: The Brothers Campbell (Paperback)
This was like watching an old Columbo mystery--you get to know whodunit, but the fun is watching these two brothers figure it out and prove it. The bad guys are deliciously [bad] and the good guys are just too [handsome] for this story. But there's lots of adventure, thrills, and action. It's a great book and I, literally, couldn't stop reading it. All of the characters are multi-dimensional and intriguing. The plots and subplots kept me going into the late hours. Well done, J. W.!! Bring on the next book!
