I have to believe Friday is one of the best days of the week. I think Saturday is tops but still, the feeling that there may be two days of relaxation ahead is hard to beat. Today I would like to introduce you to the cover of my next book. I expect the launch before October 1st but wanted you to see the finished cover. Without further ado.
Circumstances of Childhood
Here is a bit about the story.
When a former NFL star and broadcaster, now a Wall Street maven is accused of insider trading, will he be able to prove his innocence and expose those who are guilty?
Greg and his boyhood pal dreamed of big success in the NFL and then later in business. Greg was the only one to live the dream. Now the founder of an investment fund Greg is faced with a routine audit finding by the SEC. The audit points to irregularities and all the tracks lead to Greg. The justice department hits him with an indictment of 23 counts of fraud, money laundering, and insider trading. His firm goes bust, and Greg is on his own.
His best friend knows he is innocent but has been ordered under penalty of eternal damnation not to help.
If you enjoy stories of riches to rags, redemption, brotherly love, and a little of the paranormal, Circumstance of Childhood will keep you riveted.
Today’s JohnKu talks about things that excite. I hope you have a great weekend.

Ooooo… exciting indeed! The cover is very evocative. Well done.
The scope of your research for this story must have been staggering, John. I’m sure your high-level corporate background helped, but still…
The blurb is great — very enticing. This will be terrific. Have a fabulous Friday.

I’m struggling with genre. Could be speculative fiction or spiritual fiction with a thriller aspect. Gotta make a decision soon.

Congratulations, John. The cover fits the extract of the story you gave us so well. That bit of ‘paranormal’ also grabbed my attention. Sign me up if you’re doing a blog tour for the launch.
