After suffering a massive stroke, renowned crime fiction author, Jed Power, overcame his paralysis and wrote the eighth book in the acclaimed Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach, NH, Crime/Mystery series. At the same time, Power completed a Pilot episode adapting the first book in the series,”The Boss of Hampton Beach,”into a one-hour TV Series.
Power has also completed a half-hour TV Pilot dramedy, “A Stroke of Luck” based on his stroke journey.
Log line—When a cynical, failed novelist suffers a disabling stroke and fears he has lost everything, his only hope of regaining any type of meaningful life comes from his quirky, yet courageous, fellow patients at a rehab hospital for the brain-damaged.
Think MASH upside down with the patients the primary characters and the staff as secondary.
Power Also has created a half-hour comedy series. “The adventures of Eddie & Derwood” Eddie Hoar and Derwood Doller are two bumbling, low-life beach hustlers based on characters from his crime Series.
Power is now looking for a Manager, Agent or producer to help with any or all these projects.
Power admits that writing after a stroke had major obstacles. “Typing with one finger was the least of it,” Power said. He continued, “It brought me confidence though, just getting it done. In my eyes anyhow, it was an accomplishment.”
