“Unlike so many action-oriented dystopian stories, this is a somewhat surreal, moody, and introspective tale, with an easy flow to it that’s much like . . . well . . . taking a long drive.” —S. Lynn Helton.
Coyote Jim, the shape-shifting spirit of a desert valley in Nevada is forced out of his home by climate change. He robs a store and takes off in his pickup truck, looking for “the mountain in the air” described to him by a ghost. A blend of magical realism, travelogue, and post-climate change dystopia, this book has a 4.41 average rating on Goodreads from readers who describe it as “wonderful,” “original and interesting,” and “a tale told vividly.” $0.99 on Kindle.
John Callahan is a good man with a sinister past—and his past will not let him live in peace. Against the odds, he matures from a teenage Belfast street thug and an IRA killer to a happily married man and expectant father. Years later, just as he begins to find peace and serenity again as a monk in a rural Irish monastery, a vindictive superior banishes the handsome young priest to a derelict parish in New York City.
Father Callahan is forced back into dangerous filth, corruption, and crime. Can he remain a celibate priest, or will he abandon the life of faith for more sensual pleasures? Will he stay a good man or return to the dark criminal life he once knew so well?
Within each book of “The John Callahan Series,” Elizabeth Upton shares a gripping, thrilling, suspense-filled fictional story with lots of drama and intrigue. Books one through three are real page-turners for avid contemporary mystery readers.

THE QUIET HOUSES
Fall of the Narcs
DEA Agent Jeff Moore was portrayed by actor Bradley Cooper in Clint Eastwood’s movie, The Mule.
Jeff’s New York Times interview regarding his arrest of the world’s oldest and most successful cartel mule, Leo Sharp, became the basis for this film.
Inspired by real events, Jeff has now written the narrative crime thriller, The Quiet Houses.
Jeff transitioned to law enforcement after finding himself unemployed from his comfortable suburban job as a graphic artist. In 2003, Jeff spent a year undercover as a street junky visiting violent drug houses throughout Kansas City, Missouri alongside his informant, Tamera Mack, a boisterous, street-wise African American woman.
His life-changing and unbelievable journey with Tammy through a sea of lost souls, dangerous men and corrupt cops gives the reader a story that is difficult to put down.
Almost two decades later, Jeff is currently a DEA Special Agent in Detroit, Michigan.
