ABOUT D.A.E. JACKSON
D.A.E. Jackson has always been passionate about self-expression. As a younger person on this planet, dancing, singing, and acting were the preferred modes, now it's writing. Jackson was raised in Kansas, spent many years in New York City and suburbs, and is now happily back in Kansas again. Living with a very understanding husband and 2 not so understanding dogs fills the days. When there's a break in the writing Jackson enjoys a weekend dance class and the occasional 5k.
D.A.E. Jackson is extremely proud and excited to share the work Dead at Sixteen, Book One in The Knowers series. 15-year-old Philip is between friends when he meets Mike, who's everything skinny Philip isn't. Mike also knows something that Philip doesn't--they've been a couple for more lifetimes than he can count.
The Knowers are born again and again with a guiding mission to help people, and Mike has been waiting for Philip to access those lifetimes of good memories so they can have another amazing lifetime together. Just as Philip is becoming aware of his own history as a Knower, someone arrives in their midwestern town to kidnap and kill the secretive Knowers who live there.
Eventually, Philip, Mike, and others head out on an adventure to stop the Hunter before he can strike again. They usually use their gifts of telling the future, because they know the past so well, to help mankind avoid mistakes. Now they use their gifts to stop a madman before he can stop them. All the while, Philip is remembering their lives together and falling hard for Mike.
Will they live long enough to start their next life together? Philip doesn't think so, but what a journey it is to get there!

The book that changed everything for me was my introduction to the Cozy Mystery genre. I love them. If you don't know what a Cozy Mystery is, just think of Agatha Chrystie and a manor house full of suspects. Of course, I couldn't be that traditional, so I set my cozys in Hollywood during the silent movie days. Our hero, Bobby is a minor movie star who acts with a delightful Jack Russell Terrier named Bo-Bo. He's gay and has to keep that a secret as well as the fact that he's a Knower. That's right, I brought the Knower Universe to Hollywood. It doesn't play such a big part as it did in the Dead at... books, but it adds a fun and slightly supernatural element to solving crimes.
I introduce several real-life movie people, like Clara Bow and Alla Nazimova to give the book a little reality. The book originally had a different cover, but this is the new one, hopefully in keeping with the genre.
