Jane's Baby
Whatever happened to Jane Roe’s baby?
Norma McCorvey, of Caddo-Comanche heritage, did not terminate the pregnancy that led her to become the anonymous plaintiff of the landmark US Supreme Court women’s rights case Roe v Wade because in 1971, when the motion was first argued, abortion in the US was illegal. The Jane Roe real-life child is now a woman in her fifties, and for most of her life she never knew she was her, nor, therefore, did she know the potential of her polarizing celebrity.
In JANE’S BABY, it’s 2016, and this is about to change. A religious rights splinter group has blackmailed its way into learning the identity of the Roe baby, the product of a closed adoption. To what end, only a new Supreme Court case will reveal. Tourette’s-afflicted K9 bounty hunter Judge Drury, a Marine, stands in the way of the splinter group’s attempt at stacking the Supreme Court via blackmail, murder, arson, sleight of hand, and secret identities.

“The thing I write will be the thing I write.” Chris is a former corporate worker bee (Ford Motor, Exxon, Emery Air Freight, MetLife) who authors thrillers and mysteries rooted in crime, politics, espionage, and horror; he also writes songs lyrics. He’s a subject matter expert in none of the following, although his fictional characters are: firearms, aviation, NASA, geology, any law enforcement agency, fugitive recovery, the Navy SEALs, crime scene cleaning, or the US Supreme Court. Nor was he ever a church custodian, billionaire, Hawaiian mobster, a Philly mummer, or US senator, and he does not have six fingers on either hand. Chris wouldn’t trade his Northeast Philly upbringing of street sports played on blacktop and concrete, fistfights, brick and stone row houses, and twelve years of well-intentioned Catholic school discipline for a Philadelphia minute (think NY minute but more direct and less forgiving). He’s an award-winning member of International Thriller Writers. He likes the pie more than the turkey.
