In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author J.R. Mathis discusses his new series, The Father Tom Mysteries. The series features reluctant amateur sleuth, Father Tom Greer, who enters the priesthood after the murder of his beloved wife. Ten years after her death, Father Tom is assigned to the parish of the little town where his wife died. Her murder has gone unsolved during the ensuing years, and Father Tom is drawn back into the mystery when he returns to their old village. It is a murder mystery series filled with twists and turns and long-buried secrets. The first two books in the series are in print, The Penitent Priest and The Framed Father, with more books yet to come. In this episode, J.R. (James) discusses his writing journey, why he calls his first draft of The Penitent Priest “a monster,” and the pivotal moment in his life when he finally decided to get serious about his writing.
