Career Killer : A Journalist's Wild Ride with Scotch, Sex and the Sundance Kid

Chance B. Conner is a career journalist who has worked for The Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News, USA Today, other newspapers, and several magazines. He also has written three original screenplays. Career Killer, Conner's first novel, examines the rise and fall of newspaper reporter Jack Clancy, whose cockiness and sometimes reckless style land him in trouble - or get him out of it, as well. Career Killer takes place during several iconic events in contemporary U.S. history - the Challenger space shuttle explosion, Oklahoma City bombing, JonBenet Ramsey murder, Columbine High School massacre, and the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. It is a story of love and betrayal, of loss and redemption, during which actor Robert Redford passes in and out of Jack Clancy's life like some kind of apparition and, ultimately, a muse. Conner, who loves film, sports, cooking, and hiking and has a weakness for Labrador retrievers, lives in Denver, Colorado. His second novel, Career Inferno, follows Jack Clancy's penchant for blowing up then rebuilding his life. Conner is currently working on a third Jack Clancy novel.
