To his friends, Matt and Gaby, Jeff had it all: a multi-million dollar business, a swank upper east-side apartment, and a beautiful stunning young wife, Erica. But things were not as they seemed. When Jeff returned from a month in Francewithout his wife, could they believe the heartbreaking story he told? Had Erica really left him for another man, a French film producer, after only one day of sailing on the man's yacht? Was she that flighty and unfaithful? When Gaby hears news from her sister in Marseilles, she starts to wonder if something more sinister has happened. The Trophy Wife is one of three novellas where John King explores love both lost and found. Also included is The Last Word, where a young couple's miscommunication leads to an unwanted breakup and acts of sexual violence. And Roxanne, where the neglected husband of a workaholic lawyer searches for love and finds it in a mysterious young Latina, but the consequences are both unexpected and violent.These three novellas each contain tragic elements: some simply of lost love, others as great as murder, and all with unpredictable and surprising endings.The Trophy Wife was formally published as Hat Trick 3 Novellas.
Suspense fans should enjoy John King's novel, The Big Mouth. It's a crime thriller about a well-to-do New Jersey man who foolishly brags about his wealth and high cash position to win a political argument at a holiday party. Big mistake. He might win the argument, but he loses the war. Seems not everyone in the room is as well-to-do or honest. In fact, some are downright criminal. Rex Jones's big mouth makes him the target for a group of lowlifes who plan to use his wife, Lena, and daughter, Laurie, as leverage to extort his cash. Can Rex save his family? Does he even have the ability to go up against these violent thugs? The Big Mouth is a novel about ordinary people in jeopardy of losing everything they cherish. It is a story where character is fate. Some will rise to the occasion while others fail. It is also about family. Their petty jealousies, arguments, and how in spite of their resentments they can come together when one of their own is in danger. It's a fast and spare, cinematic read, reminiscent of the late Elmore Leonard, detailing the conception, plotting, and execution of a heinous crime where not everything goes as planned, and the outcome unpredictable.

John King's second novel, Maid of Honor, is a tale of questionable love, money, and betrayal. Ben Taylor was having the time of his life in college. He was young, popular, and handsome. When he receives a letter from a strange girl admonishing him for publically snubbing her after being introduced, he is puzzled. He doesn't recognize her name. Who is this woman, Paige Montgomery? He seeks her out, and so begins an intense relationship founded on callow selfish desire-a relationship that will lead to marriage, wealth, stature, and ultimately heartbreak, betrayal, and murder. Maid of Honor is narrated by the young Ben. In his eyes, he is not a calculating opportunist who marries the frumpy, but adoring, Paige for her money. He is as much a victim as she. And who is Evelyn, Paige's beautiful cousin, maid of honor, and archrival? Is she paying for her wild lifestyle as the trapped wife of a violent abusive criminal? Is she worthy of rescue? Maid of Honor is a suspense thriller and love story that climbs to a great height only to come crashing down in a frantic shattering end. John King is also the author of Blackjack 21 Stories, Hat Trick 3 Novellas, and The Big Mouth A Novel.
Eighteen-year-old Ellen Parker had just finished her freshman year. She thought the summer of 1972 was going to be her best. She was going to live with her boyfriend in his fraternity house. But on the day of the big move, she finds herself cruelly deserted by him. On a sudden whim, he has taken off with his friends to drive cross-country, leaving only a note ending their affair. Rejected and heartbroken, and now homeless, as well as out of work, Ellen searches desperately for a place to stay. Just as time is about to run out, by a strange stroke of luck, Ellen finds a post as the live-in girl Friday to a sixty-five-year-old veteran of the Pacific War. Tom Harris appears to be a nice enough man, and knows much of the world, especially exotic Japan. But as the summer progresses, Ellen notices things that strike her as odd and even suspicious, like the strange noises she sometimes hears late at night coming from the locked attic turret. Noises that Tom denies exist and refuses to investigate. Yet at the same time, Ellen finds herself growing more and more attracted to this rather youthful senior who refuses to say just what happened to him in the war, and in Japan as part of the American occupation force. But before the summer is out, Ellen will learn the answers to her questions, and that even decent people can have deep dark secrets. The Moon Will Not Rise is the story of a young woman's education and coming of age in the 1970s. It is the story of Ellen Parker's fight not to crumble at the cruel betrayal and desertion by her careless boyfriend, but gather her inner strength and come out victorious. The Moon Will Not Rise is part 70s time capsule, part WWII history, part mystery and romance. It is John King's third novel. He is also the author of Maid of Honor, The Big Mouth, Blackjack, and The Trophy Wife.

The purpose for writing this work is, as Peter urged, "[to] be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks ... a reason of the hope that " we have in Christ. We endeavor, therefore, starting at Creation to explain Calvary as reasonable and reasonably meaningful for faith. Not every theory of the Atonement greets our public with an interest that can lead to conviction, and while God could use our words spoken with sensitivity from a sanctified heart [1 Peter 3:15] it should sound reasonable to want to speak in a language God can inspired and use to draw hungry hearts to Himself. It cannot be wrong to search for a Bible based pathway to the Cross that explains God's justice and love in a reasonable way. But to get closer to Calvary, we must get closer to God, and that is only possible in prayer and the prayerful study of His Word. And we will never in this lifetime be totally understanding of God's reasonings [Romans 11:33]-nor should we. Calvary must remain a matter for faith, but the Biblical answer to life, our reason for life, is to be found in the Cross because when God drew up the blueprint for humanity, He had that lonely hill of suffering in mind. Who we were created and who He is are forever linked in God's mind and heart. Somewhere, therefore, in the nature of God, in the unfathomed depths of His inexhaustible grace, lies the secret to His passion. Perhaps, in eternity a thousand timeless years from now, we may begin to unravel the mystery of Godliness [1 Timothy 3:16], but-truthfully?-I think not. It will take "the ages to come [that] He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." [Ephesians 2:7].A word about God's "covenant faithfulness." God always planned through Jesus' crucifixion to restore His original vision of Eden. God's over-comers [Revelation 12:11] will be invited to "eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God" [Revelation 2:7]. We have, metaphorically, taken a step back from looking at a few trees-those isolated events in which the awesome power of our God was on display-to scope out the forest around them. There is a larger picture here than the return from Babylon or the Exodus. There is throughout prophetic history the thought of restoration on God's heart and mind which the disciples, no doubt, picked up on at Jesus's ascension [Acts 1:6]. We must step back far enough to see Eden in our peripheral vision on both ends of that history.
We imperil our own souls when we marginalize the prophetic visions in the Old Testament, when we set the Old Testament aside as a message to Ancient Israel and not us. Almost sixty percent of the Scripture by book (almost 75% by verse) is in the older record of what God had to say to all of us-not just Israel. Assuming this record is only an ancient literary work fails to consider the passion by which our Creator directed biblical history.There is, in other words, a pulsating love that throbs behind every word in the text and we should be feeling it.Isaiah chapter five and Habakkuk's prayer are throbbing with a passionate divine interest in us and the times in which we live. Some of this emphasis may be lost in translation. This booklet represents a desire to capture some of the nuance that suggests urgency and an importance for our world. As Habakkuk shows: It is in prayer our eyes our opened to a spiritual reality, to another interpretation of our circumstances, of life itself in Christ [1 John 5:11]. And even if Isaiah nor Habakkuk could say all this before Calvary, there is that prophetic glimpse into a higher, divine, purpose behind what was about to happen in Judah when God chose Habakkuk to join Isaiah in warning them of God's imperative to repent. What God did, God does.
Conceived in the Gilded Age, the Ferry Building opened in 1898 as San Francisco's portal to the world-the terminus of the transcontinental railway and a showcase of civic ambition. In silent films and World's Fair postcards, nothing said "San Francisco" more than its soaring clocktower. But as acclaimed architectural critic John King recounts, the rise of cars and double-deck roads severed the city from its beloved structure. King's narrative spans the rise and fall and rebirth of the Ferry Building, introducing colourful figures who fought to preserve its character (and the city's soul)-from architect Arthur Page Brown and legendary columnist Herb Caen to poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Senator Dianne Feinstein. A microcosm of the changing American waterfront, the saga of the Ferry Building explores the tensions of tourism and development-and the threat that sea level rise poses to a landmark that in the twenty-first century remains as vital as ever.
