Markert is a produced screenwriter, husband, and father of two from Louisville, Kentucky, where he was also a tennis pro for 25 years, before hanging up the racquets for good in 2020. He graduated with a degree in History from the University of Louisville in 1997 and has been writing ever since. With a total of 10 published novels under his belt, Markert writes historical fiction under his name and horror/thriller under J.H. Markert. He has recently completed his next historical novel, Ransom Burning, a civil rights era family/crime drama that Markert calls “my best book yet!” He recently finished another horror novel called Dig, and is currently hard at work on his next novel, Spider to the Fly.
Markert applied the Page 69 Test to Sleep Tight and reported the following:
On page 69 of Sleep Tight, Detective Danny Gomes arrives at the house of a young woman who’d just encountered the book’s antagonist, the Outcast, and he’s starting to ask her questions about the couple of hours she’d been tied up inside her own kitchen while the Outcast used her phone.Visit J.H. Markert's website.
Amazingly enough, anyone opening to this page, I believe, would get a great snapshot of the entire work—as there’s tension, mention of the murderer, and a clear idea that many are in danger.
