The Book of James by Ellen J Green
Welcome fellow readers to this first stop on the book tour hosted by SupaGurl Books! I have a promotional post and giveaway to share with you, and hope you’ll enjoy learning more aboutThe Book of James and the author Ellen J Green.
A terrible car crash sets things in motion for 31 year old Mackenzie when her critically injured husband, Nick, whispers warnings that someone from his past may attempt to harm or kill her after his passing. He urges her to travel to Philadelphia to his childhood home. Find James, he insists. It’s the only way out.
His last words are pushed to the side in the aftermath of his death, as Mackenzie is consumed with grief. Until the things he had spoken of start to come true. Mackenzie’s search brings her to the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, to the 19th century mansion where her husband was raised, and face to face with a mother-in-law she didn’t know existed. The two women each have an agenda. Cora, a recluse, worries that her son revealed devastating childhood secrets to his wife. Mackenzie is concerned that unless she uncovers those secrets and finds the elusive James, she may not survive. The two women circle around one another, hunter and prey. But which is which?
As the plot unfolds Mackenzie becomes more driven and takes increasingly dangerous risks while Cora’s precarious mental state rapidly deteriorates forcing her to relive a past she has worked so hard to keep buried.A gallery of photographs in the bowels of the house holds clues to generations of abuse, treachery and possibly murder. Messages hidden in Nick’s childhood Bible within the Epistle of James have Mackenzie racing against time to put the pieces together, unearth the reasons her husband chose to vanish when he was sixteen years old, and locate the person mentioned in Nick’s dying breath.
When James is finally found, the results are more horrifying than Mackenzie could have ever imagined.

I was born and raised in upstate NY and moved to the Philadelphia area to go to college. I graduated with degrees in psychology. Although writing has always been my first love I somehow took a left turn in life and ended up as a therapist in a maximum security correctional facility — for the past 7 years (plenty of fodder for writing there, I can tell you).
I have been published three times in various magazines (True Confessions, Woman’s World). The Book of James is my first novel. I am starting a Masters degree program in creative writing in the fall.
I now live in south Jersey with my two children.

This book sounds scary good!!
I learned that this book is the author’s first book. Also, she is a therapist in a maximum security correctional facility.
Hi Angela-
Yes it’s my first real book. I’ve done some novellas that really belong in the bottom of my desk drawer. And yeah, I work in a correctional facility. I get so many ideas when I am working I should carry around a notebook to jot them all down.
sorry. Thought my post did not “stick” My kids tell me I repeat myself all the time, so I guess I am at it again!
Hi- I love the promotion for my book. I am very excited to be here. I jumped on this morning and ended up staying for over an hour. (Made me late for work too!)
Thanks again and I look forward to reading other reviews and promotions.
