Deadly Driver – Spy Driver

Fuelin' Around by J.K. Kelly

Fuelin’ Around

Following the release of Kelly’s riveting military thriller FOUND IN TIME he continued to do what James Patterson told him; give the reader what they want. So many people had expressed to Kelly that his career in motorsports sounded fun and fascinating and that it was an adventure that needed to be told. FUELIN’ AROUND is the story of someone who followed their dreams. Have you ever imagined working in the exciting world of motorsports? You know, the one filled with global travel, deal making, and victory lanes? Sure that was part of the adventure but there was so much more.

I started out as a young motorsports writer/photographer and traveled coast to coast covering races and drivers, moved on to a PR job with a very prominent NASCAR team, and then landed a key role with VP Racing Fuels where some very dedicated, hard working people helped build a small start up into the international competitor that it is today. Whether it was working with engine builders for dyno tests, drinking a fuel sample, picking hot models for photo shoots, getting pulled over by the military overseas, strategic thinking, or playing with fire, there was rarely a dull moment.

FUELIN’ AROUND relates an American success story and takes a behind the scenes look at a classic David versus Goliaths battle, of a life on the racing road, and the personal and professional victories and numbing defeats that came with getting what I had wished for. The reviewers have all said they couldn’t put it down. Go along on the adventure and enjoy the ride.

The Export by JK Kelly

The Export

The tranquility of the moonlit beach in Thailand was a far cry from the Base Camp he’d visited months before. After all, people die on Everest all the time, that’s to be expected. But when a trekker is found in his tent with a climbing ax stuck in his forehead that got people’s attention. Coincidentally, a very talented investigator from the U.S. was there on a personal journey and was able to make some sense of the mystery – as much as time would allow.  The unique challenges he confronts from there and how he winds up standing over a beach body in Ko Samui is quite a tale in this prequel to The Export’s Revenge.

Set up for a crime he didn’t commit he was given a choice: serve jail time or practice your trade elsewhere. It didn’t take his incredible intuition to make the smart move and on that day, Matt Christopher became THE EXPORT.

The action never stops. From helping a friend at MI5 stop a serial killer with ties to one of the most powerful figures in England, babysitting a fraud in Quebec, trying to rescue a father and son from their sordid game in Moscow, and escaping to the serenity of Zermatt only to be swept back in as a murderer reveals herself in the shadows of the Eagles Nest. When the woman who helped raise him, not just any woman but America’s DNI, is found dead at her home in the states Matt’s stunned when he finds what she’s left behind. With his Achilles exposed – the one thing that washed him out of Navy SEALS training, his love for Bella may never be the same. A passport, for which Matt has many, isn’t required for this thrill ride.

Found in Time

Found in Time

The Midwest Book Review wrote, “A deftly crafted and impressively original military science fiction action/adventure novel by an author with a genuine flair for engaging and holding his reader’s total attention from beginning to end, ‘FOUND IN TIME’ by J. K. Kelly is especially and unreservedly recommended…”

Extraordinary warriors fight to protect their country and deliver justice every day. When an aging scientist presents a remarkable new technology to the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon many scoff but one man points to the technology behind men walking on the moon, heart transplants, iphones and the internet and suggests they consider, “What If?” With that, the top-secret technology to send six warriors back in time to test themselves and this new weapon is approved but with a simple doctrine; don’t get caught, don’t change a thing, leave nothing behind, and bring nothing back.

Major J.J. Jackson, a highly decorated Marine whose focus in life is to seek & destroy terrorists, is tasked by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to test the revolutionary technology that promises the U.S. a military and political edge over foreign and domestic threats. Incredible excursions to famous places and times test the team to the point where some will not return. When JJ goes rogue and asks a higher power to save the woman he loves everyone’s lives will be changed forever.

General Dick Stewart, Chairman of JCS, oversees the program they are hiding from a contentious White House and the CIA. As a supporter of JJ’s career since the death of the younger man’s parents, Stewart must watch his own back as he tries to look after the Major and his eclectic group of patriots. Someone can’t be trusted though and that will come with fatal consequences.

When the new American President comes under siege, first in a motorcade and then at what was thought to be an impenetrable Camp David, those who were FOUND IN TIME must ratchet up their aggression to defeat the most dangerous enemies the country has ever seen.  The sequel, THE LOST PULSE, is now available for pre-order on Amazon and launches this fall.
