Happy New Year! As part of the welcome into 2021, the wonderful and talented Kelly Brakenhoff, academic mystery and children’s author, and I chatted about books, writing, and blogging late last year. We planned to post this in early 2021, and it is officially live on her website. Join us below to learn more about Kelly and read her series (I’ve read the entire Cassandra Sato collection to date) and see which 5 books I picked from the ~160 I read last year as recommendations for others.
Also, if you’re curious about Kelly, you can read all my reviews of her books too… check it out via
About Me
For those new to me or my reviews… here’s the scoop: I’m Jay, an contemporary fiction, family drama, and mystery author who lives in NYC. My stand-alone novel, Father Figure, can be purchased on Amazon as electronic copies or physical copies. My co-written metaphysical drama about past lives, Weathering Old Souls, is a partnership with the amazing Didi Oviatt. My family drama series, Perceptions of Glass, has two books: (1) Watching Glass Shatter and (2) Hiding Cracked Glass. My clever book series, Braxton Campus Mysteries, will fit those who love cozy mysteries and crime investigations but with a twist. There are eight books: Academic Curveball, Broken Heart Attack, Flower Power Trip, Mistaken Identity Crisis, Haunted House Ghost, Frozen Stiff Drink, Legally Blind Luck, and Sleigh Bell Tower. I read, write, and blog A LOT on this site where you can also find all my social media profiles to get the details on the who/what/when/where and my pictures. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by.

I enjoyed reading this Q&A with Kelly Brakenhoff.
Thank you. We had lots of fun.
