Author Kelly Jameson Releases Second Novel, SHARDS OF SUMMER

January 2010 - “The war is ending. The madness is not. A language professor has reunited with a war buddy turned cop; both are trying to put their shattered lives back together. When they meet pretty Alison Ginger Jones, an intelligent, emotionally disturbed dancer in a girlie show, something beings to crack."

In SHARDS OF SUMMER (BookSurge Publishing, ISBN-10: 1439234353, $19.99), author Kelly Jameson’s prose urges you to read fast and furiously until you reach the final chapter, where disturbing truths collide to make a thought-arresting impact long after the last page.


Best-selling author KEN BRUEN (LONDON BOULEVARD, GUARDS, ONCE WERE COPS) says “Alison Ginger Jones dances along your mind long after you’ve finished the book….It’s THE GREAT GATSBY for the beach generation.”

Kelly Jameson’s SHARDS OF SUMMER is a great book for long winter nights, a study in contrasts, with strong characters and a racing plot.

An Amazon reader states: There is no peace after war (WWII) for three soldiers who are unable to shake the maddening memories of military imprisonment. They remain friends, living in the same town postwar (Ocean City, New Jersey). Their personal and professional lives as cops and a professor are thoroughly complicated by the erotic dancer Alison, who could be a victim or a murderer. Jameson's multi-faceted and intricate writing style strikes chords of both dissonance and harmony on many levels. The author's love of language and command of the written word are abundantly evident. Many of the passages could stand alone as essays; poetry plays a binding role in the chapters and plot lines.
