JACK WAKES UP
In the three years since Jack Palms left Hollywood and kicked his drug habit, he’s added 14 pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone could reasonably expect. But the residual checks are drying up and the ascetic lifestyle is starting to wear thin, so Jack’s happy to cash in on his former celebrity by showing some out-of-town high rollers around San Francisco’s club scene.
But when people start turning up dead, Jack realizes he’s been playing tour guide to a pack of former KGB agents turned coke dealers. Soon he’s got too many gunmen after him to count – including a South American drug cartel, a mountain-sized Samoan enforcer, and a mobbed-up strip club owner with an army of thugs. Not to mention his gorgeous new girlfriend who may be planning on shooting him in the back… and the homicide cop who’s just given Jack 24 hours to bring down the Bay Area’s biggest drug dealer.
But the thing that scares Jack the most? He’s starting to have fun.

“If Chandler had been tapped to write the first DIE HARD, and somewhere along the way Tarantino had been called in for rewrites à la TRUE ROMANCE, the result would have been a JACK PALMS tale. Hook-a-minute hardboiled dialogue and relentless action”
–Shannon Clute, Behind the Black Mask
Seth Harwood became an online publishing sensation when he created the Jack Palms Crime Podcase Series in July 2006. His podcast audience grew into a size-able world-wide following, gaining the attention of the San Francisco Chronicle and other media outlets.
In March 2008, Breakneck Books published JACK WAKES UP and Seth’s online audience (the Palms Daddies and Palms Mommas) jumped all over Amazon.com and bought enough copies to raise the book to #1 in Crime/Mystery and #45 overall in books. JACK WAKES UP was subsequently purchased by THREE RIVERS PRESS (Random House) and will be re-released in May 2009.
Seth’s other jobs have included commodities floor trading clerk, bartender, copy-editor for Avon Products, rare book cataloger, librarian, English teacher, and freelance journalist. He lives in Berkeley, CA with his wife Joelle and their dog.
DARK WORLDS TRILOGY
BOOK 1: PROJECT 31
Careview seems like such nice place to live. With its small town feel and family owned diners, visitors easily describe it as quaint and charming while passing through.
But those that stay long enough begin to hear the whispers in the dark, the rustling in the closets, the murmuring under the beds…and maybe notice the strange way bodies disappear from the morgue, and serial killers seem to be too frequently on the loose.
There is a darkness in Careview. It lies in the shadows, waiting.
Moving back and forth between 1977 and 2008, PROJECT 31 interweaves the stories of four Careview residents…a diner waitress with exotic looks, a doctor with a traumatic past, a plainspeaking handyman who knows everyones secrets, and a bratty teenager determined to get exactly what she wants. Together they must brave a storm that has been brewing for nearly thirty-one years, but trusting each other might be more than half the problem.
From the mind of Zack Daggy comes the first installment of The Dark Worlds Trilogy, a breathless, page-turning, light-speed read that hooks you in and doesn’t let go. An original horror series that’s sure to remind you why you should fear the dark.
“Zack Daggy’s work achieves what ever writer aims for: it sounds effortless, as if he got it right on the first try. His stories remind me of folk tales told in gravelly voices under low theater lighting–the kind you still hear in your memory after you turn out the lights at home.”
— Christine Taylor, co-author of The Rosewood House
“Dark Worlds is a trip through the twilight of everyone’s nightmare’s…and a few new ones.”
— C.J. McKee, Author of Dragon Sage
