Biography: Janet Bailey McQuaid was a wife, a mother, a grandmother and
a Sweet Adeline singer. She was not a writer. The horrific murder of her
elder son caused her to look for a release for the anger and the
overwhelming grief that came with his death. She also used this book as
a way to tell her granddaughters about their father. So, she began to
write. Nine years later, Security Breach, The Murder of
Tod McQuaid, was
born.
A reader recently wrote, "I think Security Breach is much more impressive when one thinks that the author used this defining event in her life to actually WRITE A BOOK, which she has done beautifully!"
One reviewer observed that, "Jan tells the story as only a mother who has 'been there' can. It is
the story of being sadistically manipulated by a trusted employee. And Jan doesn't simply tell readers about the manipulation, she makes readers feel it."
This is a book about an average family; their son's last days; and the ensuing struggle and triumph over it all. Security Breach, The Murder of Tod McQuaid made Janet Bailey McQuaid not only a writer but it made her a
champion of the victims in their agony of victimhood. She leads the reader to vicariously
be the victim, but she does not let the reader put the book down. She presents a story everyone should
feel in a movie.
Jan and her husband, Rog, have taken the book to book festivals and fairs
with success. Their handout, Book Review-Bio, gives a clear
picture why readers buy her book and then write to Jan. They have made
new friends in many states and those friends have written their comments of admiration
for Jan's writing success.
