California, 1947
When Detective Slater is given the job of managing the security team paid to protect a priceless sculpture in the local museum, he doesn't expect the object to disappear in front of him and several witnesses.
Now he must try to stay alive long enough to find out what happened to it, as the answer lies inside a story he finds himself the hero of. And to end it, he must discover who the antagonist is.
The Antagonist by J C Macek III was published by Dark Edge Press on 17 May 2021. As part of this #RandomThingsTours Blog Tour, I'm delighted to welcome to author here today, with 'Ten Things About Me'
Ten Things about J.C. Macek III
1) I am an animal rescuer and, in addition to my wife and younger daughter, I share a home with two dogs, one cat and four rabbits. Richard Adams would be proud.
2) In addition to writing, I am also an actor and producer, having made three films in addition to my television appearances. I am also a musician, having played bass guitar and sang in multiple bands.
3) I am a woodworker as a hobby and I have made everything from large wardrobes to guitars and banjos. My interest in working with wood started with my desire to build my own guitars.
4) I am a huge classic rock fan and my favorite bands include The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Judas Priest, The Who and Jim Steinman. Jake Slater is a Blues fan who is just now approaching the advent of Rock and Roll. I have a feeling he’s going to greet it warmly.
5) Jake Slater was created in a San Diego bar while two good friends and I were discussing the possibility of a live action web series in the Film Noir style. When I began working on the beginnings of Seven Days to Die, I realized the best setting was the 1940s and Jake Slater was adapted into that storyline. In the very first scene of Seven Days to Die, Jake walks to the very bar in which he was created (and, yes, that same bar did exist under the same name back in the 1940s).
6) As a celebrity interviewer, I have interviewed the likes of Judas Priest, The Cult, The Zombies, Aerosmith, Faith No More and Aerosmith.
7) I was born in Texas, raised in Louisiana and have lived in California for over two decades. Interestingly, most of my books have been published by UK publishers. I take that as a big compliment.
8) I am part of a multi-cultural household. I’m of primarily Irish descent and my wife and younger daughter are both Argentinian. We celebrate our diversity and it brings us together.
9) My older daughter inherited my interest in politics and recently graduated from University of California with a degree in Political Science.
10) I am a big science fiction fan and I count John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), which blends sci-fi, horror and mystery, as my favorite film. Combining my interests in science fiction with woodworking, I am building a realistic copy of Doctor Who’s The TARDIS in my garage. It’s something to see.
He has interviewed the likes of: Aerosmith, Judas Priest, and The Zombies.
The novelization of his movie thriller Cargo was released in 2018 by Bloodhound Books.
He lives in California with his wife and a zoo of pets from greyhounds to rabbits.
