Hello and Welcome!

If you’re on this page, you likely got here by following the link on the postcard I sent to Wisconsin’s finest independent bookstores and coolest libraries, and . You’re also probably curious about my novel Keep Away From Psycho Joe. Here’s what it’s about:

Freshman year is over, and not a moment too soon for Ruby. He and his mom moved from Milwaukee to the tiny town of Bluehills at the beginning of the school year, and ever since he’s been in trouble. Now that school’s out for the summer, Ruby doesn’t know how he’ll fill his days. Ideally, he’d just pass the time watching movies with his pal Cludes… and Cludes’ lovely cousin Justine. Whatever he does, he should probably keep away from the neighbor up the road, a man known around town as Psycho Joe. If the crude flyers posted all over the area are to be believed, Psycho Joe is a dangerous man – especially to young people. As Ruby starts digging up the dirt on his mad neighbor, each answer leads to new, darker questions. Things get stranger and stranger the deeper Ruby digs. Just how dangerous is Psycho Joe? Are there unearthly forces at work in Bluehills? Will the answers drive Ruby insane, too? Ruby should have listened when they told him…KEEP AWAY FROM PSYCHO JOE!

I’d LOVE to chat with you about how to get a copy or two of Keep Away From Psycho Joe onto your shelves. If you’d would like to chat about that same topic, email me at brentkelleybooks[at]gmail.com.
