Get my book A Barbarian In Chicago- a Modern Conan by Jay Bowers at your library for free!


Audiobooks make reading fun. Libraries make listening free! If your library uses Bibliotheca, Odilo, Overdrive, or hoopla you can borrow A Barbarian in Chicago by Jay Bowers and start listening today. 

And Jess Thornton is just a pen name of Jay Bowers!

I think you will enjoy this audio book, as it is read by the author (me!), and really captures the feeling I was looking for.

Part One of New Book- a Western Saga!

I haven't been keeping this blog updated lately, bad me!  The weather has been frightful, which is normal for January and February in Wisconsin, but I have been writing on a regular basis.  I guess I like writing, singing and playing guitar better than blogging... Anyway, my latest effort is a Western, set in 1900 Oklahoma territory and Chicago.  This was a fascinating time (as most times are), yet this was especially so.  The cowboys and the cattle drives were just starting to be replaced by refrigerated rail cars carrying dressed beef, rather than live cattle to be slaughtered in Chicago in the yards there. I am basing the theme of the book on the Iliad and the Odyssey; this is another mythic time, like the Old West of the US, that constructed archetypes that remain with us of Western Civilization forever.  And I say it again: Western Civilization- no apologies- it is the ultimate achievement, the shining light of the world!  Present deluded politics be damned as idiots...
