About JT Hume

About the Author

JT Hume started life as a rambling man. He was born in El Paso because his Army parents had sex in Texas, and he’s lived in various states and three different countries over the years. Along the way, he became a proud Nevadan and product of the Silver State’s K12 and higher education system. He proudly served in the United States Air Force, something he reminds people of every day (like most veterans).

The best decision he ever made was over forty years ago when he asked Cassidy Carson to marry him. The jury is still out on whether accepting said proposal was Cassidy’s best decision.

JT’s books are formed from his knowledge and interest in politics, government, and religion, and his characters are maneuvered through strategies honed over many years playing incredibly bad chess. Some might say his books are flavored with the love and romance he’s shared with his soulmate over their many decades together, but that’s icky to even think about, so don’t go there.

Instead, please read his books and reach out to him with feedback and constructive criticism. Or just say hi. Really, he’ll talk your ear off if you let him. Thanks in advance.

A Sheriff in Nevada Oct 31, 2018

by JT Hume

( 23 )

$0.99

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has the same mission as the NYPD and LAPD: protect the public, investigate crimes, and arrest lawbreakers. The difference is Sheriff Maggie Doane has six deputized officers to patrol hundreds of square miles of remote Nevada mountains and deserts. After dodging a close attempt on her own life, finding the bad guy takes all her willpower and attention, despite the distraction of a sick father and intrusions of old boyfriends. When one of the richest men in the state snaps his fingers, how will she respond? These and other challenges await in "A Sheriff in Nevada."

"Sheriff Maggie Doane is a workaholic, and the fact that she has to keep an eye on her willfully incompetent team of deputies doesn't help matters. Her best deputy is her partner, a dog named Max. The department is underfunded and understaffed, and promising new hire Cheryl "Charlie" Stone arrives just in time to help solve a brutal murder. Set away from the bright lights of Las Vegas and in the fictional rural area of Jefferson County, this story has some surprising twists and characters you'll want to keep following." Susie D., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing

"A well-paced mystery led by an immensely likable heroine." Virge B., Proofreader, Red Adept Editing

by JT Hume

$0.99

The riots and marches threaten everything she believes in, yet the worst part of the story: the chaos is all her fault. Not only does the family who raised her hold her at arm's length, they are suing her to keep what they think is theirs. On top of all this is the devastating news that will change her life forever.

What others have said about Emma Parks and JT Hume's books:

"JT Hume seems to know his social services. As someone deeply acquainted with this field, this story is not far fetched at all."

"I was curious to see how the author could make a CPS (Child Protective Services) employee's first week on the job interesting without adding steamy sex or a murder mystery or some other kind of drama. But as Emma reported to work and began meeting her co-workers and others in the system, I found myself caring about her and the other characters."

"It's so unusual to have CPS portrayed relatively realistically (maybe even very realistically) and as real people, plus the bonus, in my opinion, of not having to wade through sex."

"I like the main character, Emma, and her boss, their relationship is interesting. Also, the back story on the main character is complex and will continue, I'm sure, to interfere with her life. Also, the romance is fun."

"If you enjoy gritty fiction, you'll enjoy this book."

"Could not put this one down! This author is really hitting his stride. This is one of the best books I've read in awhile. Well developed characters that I came to care about. I really hope this becomes a series and I look forward to finding out what happens next. A difficult subject handled very, very well."

"...this story has some surprising twists and characters you'll want to keep following."

"JT Hume has us empathizing with his characters. A good story, well-told."

"The writing is crisp and clean, great action scenes and great characters."

"JT Hume creates characters that are real, both strong and vulnerable at the same time."
