Heaven's Door, a Novel
Genre-Busting Literary Fiction for Adventurous Readers
BEFORE - available April 30th!
INTRODUCING the TOPDOGS MOTORCYCLE CLUB... fictional top-tier Outlaw Bikers who rule a city and play "the bad guys" in books about heroes, victims, and undercover policing.
A lurid, dark and daring adventure into a criminal culture that is best visited from the safety of your favorite reading chair... InD'tale Magazine calls this first novel by J. Kilburn "heart-stopping!"
Two opposing and mutually-exclusive lives meet for just a moment at a time and in a place where one of them shouldn't be. The fallout of this moment leaves a woman on the run from Organized Crime, and takes readers on a frantic plunge into the dark streets and back alleys of a richly-described criminal underworld. Inspired by actual events, this shocking and terror-filled crime fiction plays out against a backdrop of bloody gang violence that spilled across Quebec in the 1990's - the Quebec Biker War. Novelist J. Kilburn brings readers to the dark side of seedy streets in this international tale of adventure, terror, and crime set in Montreal.

Genre-Busting Literary Fiction for Adventurous Readers
The books are set in northern New England and in the largest French-speaking city in the New World - the cosmopolitan city of Montreal. A cast of repeating characters come and go with the setting and events. Each book stands alone, but nestles into a larger story arc about small-town life, Organized Crime, and policing. They may be read in any order - each is a novel and fully self-contained story on its own.
This story began with a chance encounter at the gas station. Outlaw Bikers - the real ones - thundered in and lent an international, dangerous air to a small town for a few brief minutes. A few years later, hunters found bones at the edge of the woods - human bones interred in a shallow, hasty grave. Anonymous and silent, those bones never-the-less screamed MURDER! The two events - bikers and murder - wove and braided themselves in my imagination, a plot was born, and I sat down to pen a short story. My imagination kept working and other events wove in - there is plenty of mischief in the region to keep an international crime thriller well-fed.
You may read the books in any order that interests you, and then if you want to know more about the characters you may read other HEAVENS DOOR books as sequels or prequels.

The Heaven's Door Books:
This story started twenty years ago with actual bones: human remains found by hunters in the bushes beside a quiet and pastoral Vermont road. Weathered and anonymous, the bones were the subject of news reports, gossip, and speculation for a few weeks until the skeleton was relegated to an evidence locker to languish and gradually fade from public view.
Those bones deserved better.
I brought those bones back into the light of day in a yarn spun from whole cloth but embroidered onto a tapestry of actual regional events. I gave these fallen bones family, friends, community. I gave them context, burdened them with conflict, awarded them heroism, introduced danger and finally, inevitably, brought them to a death. Best and worst of all, I gave these weathered bones loved ones who still wait and wonder, each and every day.
Heaven's Door, a Novel by J.Kilburn is the first of many books portraying events in the imagined life - and death - of those bones. It's a heart-stopping story about tragic, terrible events - the violent encounter that brings those bones to rest in an unmarked shallow grave. I hope you'll take a look at it when you are in the mood for literary crime fiction with a dash of horror. And don't forget that there is a real person somewhere under this shroud of fiction... I hope I have done him justice.
BEFORE, a Novel by J. Kilburn is an edgy, authentic, and entertaining Coming-of-Age tale that introduces the characters who will grow up to wait for the owner of the fictional bones to return. Kilburn's thoughtful and sometimes shocking blend of Crime Fiction and Romance will leave you re-examining the seemingly innocent sunny streets and wildflower-filled alleys of your own neighborhood. The kids in this story of teen adventure and misadventure have a lot more in common with hardened criminals than you - or they - might think.
We vote but once a year, while they must enforce the will of the people on a daily basis.
