In an Enemy’S Country
Liberty is fleeting; terrorism is eternal! Or so discovers Assistant US Attorney and widower John Ferguson while reading an ancient manuscript purporting to be that of Thomas Jeffersons 1784 Paris diary, between handling a perplexing new case and rearing a precocious four-year-old son and bright-but-troubled teenage daughter. But when he discovers that the political protester hes prosecuting for assault on a federal marshal may be linked to a terrorist organization seemingly intent on wreaking havoc in his Jackson, Mississippi, hometown, and a mysterious new love interest suddenly appears on his doorstep, he finds himself locked in a life and death struggle with a brilliant but demented revolutionary dedicated to the destruction of all Ferguson holds dear and nothing less than the eradication of the American way of life.
Your Love Is Wicked and Other Stories
In thirty-three stories bristling with seething irreverence, dark humor and heart-rending vulnerability, Jim Fraiser paints an unforgettable picture of the people inhabiting his native Mississippi Delta. From poignant tales-- a self-absorbed actor meets his match; an unsuspecting family awaits a fateful date with the storm of the century; a woman begs mercy for her wayward son; to the fantastic and absurd--a long dead 19th Century frontiersman surfaces in modern day Greenwood; the greatest sage of antiquity dispenses words of wisdom in a popular 21st Century restaurant; and a hammer-wielding Norse god wreaks havoc in a downtown bar--Fraiser enlists a terse narrative style and gritty, realistic dialogue to bring his quirky and enigmatic Deep South characters to life, death and beyond.

Mississippi River Country Tales
The people who live in towns and cities along the Mississippi River in the southern United States are a special breed, steeped in 500 years of history as rich as the coffee they drink, or the soil where once the river ran. Mississippi River Country Tales is a fast-paced, easy to read history that covers everything from the early conquistadors and the first Mardi Gras to Fannie Lou Hamer and Archie Manning, and covers the geographic region from Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana. The book has received hearty praise from reviewers across the South: "[Mississippi River Country Tales] contains an incredible cast of real-life characters that would defy any writer of fiction to create lest they be perceived as too unbelievable. The book can do nothing but add to Jim Fraiser's growing reputation as another young Mississippi writer who knows how to tell stories about the places and people he knows best." --Biloxi Sun-Herald
