Bio: A veteran of the corporate wars, former journalist, and true
studier of human and social behavior, John W. Mefford has been writing his
debut novel since he first entered the work force twenty-five years ago,
although he never put words on paper until late 2009.
Considered a visionary leader in his fifteen-year IT career, he
quit his job and started writing, pouring out his thoughts with no net.
When he’s not writing, he chases three kids around, slaves away in
the yard, reads, takes in as many sports as time allows, watches all sorts of
movies, and continues to make mental notes of people and societies across the
land -- even if they piss him off.
Committed is the first book in the series, The Michael Doyle
Chronicles.
John lives in Frisco, Texas with his beautiful wife, three
adorable kids, and a feisty fat cat.
Product description: Sinful deception. A malicious corporate
takeover. A grisly murder. Unrelenting greed.
We all have that inner voice, the one who knows all but refuses to
let even our closest confidantes inside. The one we must calm when we’re most
unsettled. The one who seeks to understand our path, our destiny.
Michael Doyle lives in emotional anonymity, resistant to
fully devote himself to anyone or any cause. Without warning, a technology
conglomerate acquires Michael’s company, and he quickly sees through the fog of
political posturing: false hope, layoffs, and blatant dishonesty.
Then, death reaches up and grabs him. Shaken to the core, Michael leans on his live-in girlfriend, who has touched his heart like no one else. But her haunting past resurfaces, and she’s pulled into a seedy web by an outside force so cruel, so cunning it destroys every soul in its path.
Can Michael rise above his greatest fear to uncover the truth about a murder and save the life of the person he loves most?

Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
A: Committed relates to readers on many levels. It involves
a malicious corporate takeover…Who hasn’t witnessed this painful event, or
known someone who has gone through it? Michael, the protagonist has never
devoted himself to anything in his life. All of us can relate to a person with
commitment issues. And the book centers on greed…the root of all evil in our
society. Of course, wrapping a murder around these topics creates building
suspense and a thrill ride all the way to the climatic conclusion!
Q: Why did you go indie?
A: The publishing industry is in the middle of seismic
change. I realized the most effective method to maintain control of the
creative product, my publishing schedule, marketing, and taking care of my
target audience was to self-publish. It’s a great deal of work, but most
satisfying.
Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?
A: The big ones got me hooked – John Grisham, James
Patterson, Michael Connelly. But I’m very excited about Rick Murcer, Michael
Prescott, and a host of other authors I read every day.
