About the Book

Alyssa Hillman thinks she may have killed her husband Willy. And she's not sure how she feels about that. On one hand she loves him and is just too nice a person to be a killer, even if in self-defense. On the other, she also hates him a little because he's an abusive brute from whose savage rape attempt she's barely escaped with her life. So Alyssa comes to Harry and Dee Shalan, private eye team extraordinaire, for help. At first they're trying just to find out if Willy is alive, but it isn't long before he proves himself not only alive but also quite unhappy and more than a little insane. In the course of the investigation, Harry and Dee meet Willy's younger brother Happy, Willy's opposite in nearly every way. Happy's wife Marissa is not only Alyssa's best friend but could pass for her twin sister. Happy is forced to choose between two unthinkable options. Does he help his sociopathic sibling? If not, he risks bringing public shame to his beloved wife. In this modern re-imagining of the parable of the prodigal son, brothers battle over family honor, respect, and even the women who love them. Kisses and Lies is the follow up to Joe Stephens' critically acclaimed debut novel, Harsh Prey.
About the Author: After graduating from Glenville State College in Glenville, a small town in rural West Virginia, in 1985, I taught for two years in the Ritchie County School system. When it became apparent that permanent full-time work in teaching was not going to be available anytime soon in or near my hometown of Parkersburg, WV, I went to seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. Before I could finish there, though, I moved back home and accepted a job as a youth minister at Emmanuel Baptist Church. I was on staff there, in various capacities, for six years before I realized how badly I missed the classroom and applied for a teaching position at Parkersburg High School. I have been there for the last seventeen years. Though I don't work there anymore, I am still a member of Emmanuel Baptist. During my time at PHS, I have taught seniors almost exclusively, though I was the speech and debate team teacher and coach for the first several years. I now teach just senior English, most of my classes being Advanced Placement. I am a National Board Certified teacher. In one of my most humbling career moments, I was the recipient of the Milken National Educator Award in 2005. In 2007, I earned my Master's degree in education with a concentration in integrating technology in the classroom from Walden University. It was an all online program that I found surprisingly challenging and rewarding. If you're a teacher looking for a valuable advanced degree program that helps you reflect on your best practices, Walden's program is perfect for you. I know they also have several other programs, but I can only speak knowledgeably about education. I've taught creative writing to my students for seventeen years, but I'm the one with the undying passion to write detective novels. I tinkered with Harry and Dee Shalan and their story for many years until I was recently encouraged by my students to quit talking about it and get this darn book written. So I did. And I enjoyed the process so much that I decided to write this one. I also recently completed the first draft of Shalan Adventure #3, In the Shadow.
