Local author Judy Clemens launches her most recent book “Tag, You’re Dead,” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, July 9, at Book ReViews, 123 S. Main St., Bluffton.

The book will be available for sale and for autograph signing at the party.

Clemens is best known for her Stella Crown series, the Grim Reaper mysteries, and the stand-alone, “Lost Sons.” Her new book goes in another direction from previous books.

Clemens told the Icon, “The book is under my pen name of J.C. Lane. This is because this is a thriller instead of a straight mystery, and my publisher and agent wanted me to put a different name on the book.

“I wrote this book initially as a young adult book because it features teens, but my publisher thought adults would enjoy it, too, so published it in their mainstream line.”

The book’s story line involves six teenagers who play a dangerous Game of Tag in public, chasing through the crowds, streets, and buildings of Chicago. This secret, one-of-a-kind, wildly expensive Game offers a macabre twist to the childhood version…if you get Tagged, you get Dead.
