The year is 1987. The place is Miami, Florida. Recent college graduate, Rem Rasso, is there for one reason only, to get his movie made. He has the passion, the knowledge, and he has the script.

Things get complicated and dangerous as Rem’s life becomes more dramatic and deadly than the fictional movie he is trying to create.

Jennifer the Sketchbook Girl

I have a new story out, Jennifer the Sketchbook Girl. It's one of my best. If you like The Twilight Zone and/or Amazing Stories, you will enjoy it.




Feeling isolated and lonely during a pandemic quarantine, writer Jimmy Barton throws himself into a new project, a graphic novel called 1987. It is the story of Jennifer, a lost love from his past that never was. As he writes and draws, the focus of his work intensifies and becomes obsessive, until one day, he draws Jennifer into his life for real, straight out of the pages of 1987.

Jennifer the Sketchbook Girl is a delightful, addictive, funny, suspenseful, and romantic tale of imagination from James J. Caterino, the author of Super Hornet 1942, The Green Girl, The Mesomorph, and The Girl from the Stars.
