For years, and until only very recently, those two images haunted him for as they hung on the wall of his family's home.Harker Jones grew up on a dirt road in Michigan in a town so small it doesn’t to this day have a traffic light. He has written an Amazon #1 best-selling love story, “Until September,” and nine screenplays, revealing truths through humor and horror. His short thrillers “Cole & Colette” and “One-Hit Wonder” have been accepted into more than 60 film festivals combined, garnering several awards. He was managing editor of “Out” magazine for seven years, spent two in gay porn, and worked at Disney Publishing. He’s a member of both the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and Mensa, loves cats and carbs and would like to be a one-hit wonder but would settle for being killed in a slasher movie.Tell Me What Happened features the music of Susan Salidor.Get Susan Salidor’s One Little Act of Kindness Children’s BookGet Susan Salidor’s I’ve Got Peace in My Fingers Children’s BookMore Information about other quality publications from our sponsor can be found on Sidelineinkpublishing.comThose interested in recording and saving your laughter for free and forever go to Laughsaver.com
