Welcome to the penultimate episode of 7th Son: 7 Days, a free audio prequel anthology to J.C.’s thriller novel, 7th Son: Descent. Today’s episode features Jay, a field agent for the United Nations. When his helicopter is shot down in Colombia, can Jay and his friend survive the threat of predators in the rain forest — particularly since those predators are human?
Set two weeks before Descent’s extraordinary events, these seven 7th Son: 7 Days stories stars a unique “John Michael Smith.” Learn more about the anthology here.
After the story, J.C. chats about the “giving it away is okay” philosophy, and his collaboration with St. Martin’s Press.

Thanks for the link love JC! You rawk!
Interestingly…the name seems more edgy. While “Jonathan” probably fits his inner personality better, lightweight as he is, somehow the name change gives him more credibility and grounding. Does that sound weird? I’m interested to know your reasons!
@DAVe: You’re welcome!
@Megan: Ultimately, the name change was suggested by my editor at St. Martin’s. I chose the name, as “Jay” was quickly mentioned as his pet name in Book Two.
