Splits and Transitions: A Gripping Conspiracy Thriller Paperback - 2025

We're all a product of our experiences. The more experiences, the harder the road was to get to where you are now, the more you have to draw on when it comes time to write. In James Tarr's life he's been a police officer, armored car driver, and spent most of 20 years working as a private investigator in and around the artful ruin that is modern Detroit. He's had close family members murdered, invested decades into a marriage that went bad, raised kids that turned out great, got fired from jobs he desperately needed....and through it all he wrote. There were words in his head that he just needed to get onto paper, mostly fiction, but he never thought he could make any money at it. But life has a way of giving you what you need. He now finds himself in the slightly surreal position of writing for a living. Right now non-fiction articles are his bread and butter, and he writes regularly for outdoor magazines. That work put him in contact with Dillard Johnson, whose autobiography Carnivore he co-wrote. Carnivore was published in 2012 by Harper Collins and has done very well. However, there isn't anything in the world that he loves doing more than writing fiction. His first published fiction novel, Failure Drill, came out in 2004, and he has six more novels done, with more on the way. Keep up with him at OfficialJamesTarr dot com.
