Jak Barley-Private Inquisitor and the Case of One Damned Thing After Another

by Dan Ehl

Overview

Jak Barley, private inquisitor, hates cases involving damned creatures like vampires and zombies, but that's just what he finds himself helplessly in the middle of. Jak has come to hate adventures. He would prefer the boring cases of his earlier years in the profession when dealing with errant husbands or minor pilferings. Still, somehow he finds himself eluding corrupt officials and creatures of the night that want to suck his blood and eat his brains. He does find help in his friend and publisher of the Weekly Tattler, as well as his mysterious friend Lorenzo Spasm from a parallel firmament--one similar to Jak's world in many ways, but devoid of any magic. He also finds support from his girlfriend, Morgana, an apprentice witch.

About the Author

Dan Ehl has been a journalist and editor at both weeklies and daily newspapers in Iowa. The winner of numerous journalism and photo awards, including first in humor from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists, he enjoys breaking out of dryer newspaper writing to pen fantasy novels. He served in Germany as an Army photographer during the Vietnam War. "With a lot of Vietnamese lining pits with sharpened stakes for people just like me, I knew I wasn't wanted. I didn't want to be rude and show up anyway. Being from Iowa, we always try to be polite. Stationed in Germany during the early seventies was interesting enough with the barracks on weekends smelling of beer, vomit and hashish." His favorite hobbies are hitchhiking and hopping freights.
