Author Bio:
It started with single comic book. Jeremy’s mother was determined to make a reader out of him. Shunning traditional literature at a young age, his mother placed X-Men Classic #69 in his lap and for the first time he was exposed to the phrases, “Mutants,” “BAMF,” and “SNIKT.” From that moment on, he imagined his enrollment at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters at 1407 Graymalkin Lane.

By middle school he devoured fantasy and science fiction faster than he could check them out of the library. However, his first love remained comic books. He began writing his own comics with his best friend, and by the end of their eighth grade year, they had written over a hundred issues of the superhero series that would eventually become Children of Nostradamus. Meanwhile, he spent his Tuesday’s at the grocery store, rummaging the racks, reading any comic put on the shelf.

Working as a high school teacher provided him with an uncanny amount of great dialogue. The antics of teenagers in a suburban setting became the background of his first published book, Suburban Zombie High. Having started working at a second suburban school, the sequel, Suburban Zombie High: The Reunion was published.

Jeremy became known as a geek before it was a trend. During college Jeremy would be shortened to Remy as friends discovered his goal of reading every X-Men comic. Being able to explain the many relationships of Scott Summers and his multi-dimensional children became a badge of honor.

Jeremy came to writing late in his professional career. For a short period he majored in Creative Writing but eventually turned to Graphic Design for a career. It wasn’t until 2006 that he participated in his first NaNoWriMo, writing an epic science fiction novel. Later he would use the opportunity to write Suburban Zombie High and his first draft of Children of Nostradamus. He belongs the New England Horror Writer’s Association and partakes in a weekly writing group called the Metrowest Writers where people are flabbergasted by his love of comics and scifi.



Bangkok Shadows  

About Bangkok Shadows

Glenn Murray Cohen was decidedly unhappy as a criminal defense lawyer in San Francisco, caught in a web of bills, stress and a failed marriage. One night he meets a client in a dark parking lot where he was to be paid a large cash retainer. When the client is murdered, Glenn seizes his fee and a briefcase that contained over a half million dollars in cash and employed the services of his friend Charlie, a shady lawyer, to help him set up a new life in Thailand.
For seven years, Glenn enjoys life as a wealthy expat, spending most of his time at the mysterious NJA Club before he is pulled into a maelstrom of intrigue and danger. His close friend and marijuana dealer, Sleepy Joe, is arrested, forcing Glenn to use his wits to save him. Glenn seeks help from an NJA acquaintance, The General, a friendly but duplicitous retired military man who agrees to assist with the promise of an unspecified future favor.
Soon after freeing Sleepy Joe, the beautiful and mysterious Noi, the object of Glenn’s unrequited love, is confronted by serious legal problems. Glenn agrees to help two mysterious CIA agents carry out an illegal and dangerous kidnapping of a Russian gangster, hoping to help Noi. He recruits three friends from the Club to assist him: Sleepy Joe, revealed as a former member of the Australian Special Forces, the gregarious and cynical Oliver, a gregarious Australian purveyor of information, and Rhode Island Joe, who seems like an oaf until you realize he is not.
Glenn and his friends are sent on a wild ride through the seamy and dangerous underside of Bangkok and must adapt to this dangerous new environment. He draws upon the skills he possessed as criminal lawyer in America, a life he thought he had abandoned. As the novel progresses, he is forced to confront corruption, murder, heartbreak, and danger, all against the exotic and noir background of Bangkok.

When the sorcerer whisks her away to another world, she is shocked to discover that not only is magic real, but she was prophesized long before to be the one who could end the darkness that was being spread by a sorcerer bent on ruling all the worlds. She transforms from a victim into a warrior, and dives headlong into a war that had been raging years before she arrived.
Now, ten years after disappearing from Seattle, she returns on the heels of her enemy, only to run into the boy who had lived next door to her throughout her entire childhood, only he isn’t a boy anymore. As he joins her in the fight to save both their worlds, Anastasia has to decide whether she believes giving in to her love for Dakota would be an unaffordable distraction, or her greatest strength.
