More About the Author

I was a cute baby, chubby with curly hair and a great smile. My parents loved me until I hit my teen years, then they tolerated me until the mid-twenties. Glad to say they love me again now. I think.

I've got four kids of my own. How stupid was that? And five dogs. Shiba Inu is the breed. They're bad little dogs that live to escape from my house and terrorize the neighborhood. Much like my kids.

I love writing. The last five books I wrote were while sitting in a Second Cup coffee shop. That's like a Canadian version of Starbucks for all of you south of the 49th parallel. Great coffee. It keeps me awake while I write. That's a good thing.

I like hockey, but only watch the playoffs. Calgary and Edmonton are my favorite teams, which is like someone saying, "I love the Yankees and the Mets." Figure that one out.

Baseball is great, the thinking sports fan's game. Soccer is fun while the World Cup is on, the rest is pretty boring. But NFL football rules. Go Seahawks. I used to watch these guys when Jim Zorn and Steve Largent were in the league.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you want to send me an e-mail, put a note in the subject line that you found my e-mail on Amazon and have a comment on my books. No attachments, please.

All the best,

Jeff Buick

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting New Author!, April 15, 2007
By 
Melvin Hunt (Cleveland,, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shell Game (Mass Market Paperback)
The authors that I have read in the past have nothing for me to read at
this time. I decided to try a new author and selected Jeff Buick. I have
made a good choice.
In this book Taylor Simons and her husband Alan Bestwick are living the good life in San Francisco. Taylor's company G-cubed is doing a very good
business. Alan is working for a corporate security company. They are on top of the world. All of that suddenly changes.They recieve a phone call
from their banker. He is calling in their note on an investment that they have made. They have bought $13 million worth of stock in New Pro. The
company has packed up and left everyone high and dry. The money that they borrowed to purchase the stock is all due on the spot. Taylor is forced to sell G-cubed and their home to pay the note.
This turns out to be a huge nationwide scam. The head of this scam is a man named Edward Brand. He has stolen $263 million from investors in this
con game. He is nowhere to be found. Taylor and Alan locate Brand in Caba
San Lucas in Mexico. They travel to Mevico to find him. They locate him and attempt to pursue him. Alan pushes Taylor out of the vehicle and crashes over a cliff into the ocean. Taylor teams up with a former employee of G-cubed, Kelly Kramerand plan their own con game to take away
Edward Brand's money. Taylor makes some stunning discoveries while launching her own con. If they fail at their con they will be killed. This
book will keep you turning pages. There is a shocking ending.
Read this book and discover an exciting new author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Which Shell Has The Prize?, May 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: Shell Game (Mass Market Paperback)
Jeff Buick's fourth novel, an exciting page turner, and possibly the best, so far, although they all are good.
Shell Game's plot has several unexpected twists and turns, is well written, and you don't find out which shell has the prize until the final page, thus keeping the excitement in motion.
This one would make a fine film, as they all would.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shell Game, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Shell Game (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a very interesting story. You can feel the suspense as the couple learn that they have lost everything they own to a con man scheme. You can see how this could happen (although the numbers are bigger than life) to someone. I like the way Taylor and Alan decide to do something about it themselves. It's a good read and so are the other Jeff Buick novels.
