My name is Jed Power. I am the author of the 8-book Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach, NH mystery Series. I have a completed screenplay adapting the first novel in the series, "The Boss of Hampton Beach"  into a one-hour TV show, which could easily be converted to a Feature. I also have completed shorts and  have many ideas for others based on two characters from my book Series. Eddie Hoar & Derwood Doller are two bumbling, low-life, small-time beach hustlers Any of these shorts can easily be adapted to TV or Features.

I have been a long-time, Active member of the “Mystery Writers of America.’

I have another published novel, “The Combat Zone,.” Which is the first  book in a planned series about a P.I.whose office is in early 1970’s  Hippie-era Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. On this, his first case, he spends an unhealthy amount of time in Boston’s notorious red-light district, known as the Combat Zone. This book was a finalist for the Saint Martin’s Press/ Private Eye Writers of America “Best First P.I. Novel” Award.

After suffering a massive stroke, which left me totally paralyzed on one -side, I was able to finish book #8 in the series, “Hampton Beach Heist,” by pecking away at the keyboard with one-finger. I also took the recuperation time to study the art of screen writing and to work on scripts.  After three years of physical therapy ,I am now 90% back to my pre-stroke self.

I am now looking for an Agent, Manager or Producer to come on board with any of these projects.
