 Welcome to the World of J.T. BrewerJ.T. Brewer is a composite of our names, Judeen and Terry Brewer. Our writing began as a joint venture at a point when we thought we were living separate lives and wanted a project that would require us to reconnect and spend time together. Over the years, writing has allowed us not only to become closer as a couple, but to explore new ideas, whet our creative juices and produce some very interesting works. Our preference is to write stories related to fantasy/science fiction for both children and adults, and we make it a point to include a masculine and a feminine perspective in everything. Our site serves two purposes. First to introduce you to our books and short stories and, second, to present our blog and invite your responses to it. The world of writing and publishing is rapidly changing and we have found it takes a whole- hearted effort to keep up with it. This is at times a daunting task, but also a thrilling journey. Nowadays, readers want a more personal connection to their favorite authors. In turn, the authors should be more connected with their readership and more forthright about who they are as people. Therefore, we intend to use this site not only to explore the writing craft but also to let you get know us better personally. We are anxious to hear what you might have to say in response. Hopefully, you will consider the time you spend with us well worth your while.  The Protector of Central ParkThis our first children's fiction book. As a retired elementary school teacher, Judeen has much experience with children's literature and has written many stories within this genre, but this is the first to be published. If you like this, be assured, others will follow. "One morning I woke up at 4 a.m. with a complete story about a squirrel in my head," Judeen explains. "The squirrel lives on the west side of upper Central Park in New York City. His name is HJ, or Hoppin' Jack and his best friend is a chipmunk named Chipper. These two are a couple of rascals and often get in trouble for it. " They attend animal school with the other Upper Park youngsters, taught by a flock of well- educated pigeons under the direction of Head- mistress Dame Featherdusters. On one occasion, the teacher tells the class that a series of murders have taken place and a gang of feral cats, lead by a particularly vicious, power-hungry tom named Snake, is to blame for it. HJ pays little heed to the story. After all, his father and uncle are both crackerjack 'Park Protectors'--the police squad of Upper Park. They always take care of stuff like this. Any way, HJ has other things to think about, such as the lovely girl squirrel from the east side of the park he has just met. "When HJ barely survives an attack by a huge alley cat while returning home from a date he realizes it is time to wake up and face facts. Like it or not, a battle has begun. He and every animal of Upper Park is now on the front line." The book is intended primarily for 8 - 12 year old readers, but many others would also enjoy it. It has humor, adventure, excitement, and just a little touch of romance. It's a great read for kids and for anyone who likes to get lost in a fantasy! The book is now available in softcover and ebook formats on Amazon and through this site.  Stewards of the White Circle SeriesStewards of the White Circle is a fictional series that offers an exciting peek into the world of a race of immortal beings who share this planet called Earth. The series starts with Calm Before the Storm, which is now available in paperback and ebook form. The second book in the series, Ancient Enemies, has been delayed by our efforts to get out The Protector of Central Park, but will be coming soon. Who are the Stewards and why they are here, living among us? This secret is revealed through the exploits of James Omega, who is known to the world as a professor and a brilliant biologist. He is also a Steward who will take you into a realm of mysterious powers, fascinating characters and evil adversaries. With him, you will travel on a desperate search to find the two mortal accomplices he needs to save Earth's wildlife and more before a global disaster strikes, all the while battling a demonic enemy from his past. Calm Before the Storm invites you to step into Omega's shoes and join him on his quest. Blog ArchiveTags |
