K. Janssen - Hampton Manor

The Shadow, as part of man’s basic instincts must team up with the ego in order to function. The Shadow possesses a magnetism that acts as a fatal attraction, provoking actions that are naturally abhorrent and usually deeply regretted. These actions are sometimes repressed because they are unacceptable to the conscious mind and the individual’s station in society.

According to Carl Jung, The Shadow takes over a person’s actions when their conscious mind has been shocked, is confused or in a state of flux. When the ego is weak or threatened it becomes the Shadow’s natural breeding ground.

It was in this milieu that Kane Masterson, under the influence of his Shadow, orchestrated the deaths of Adam Hampton III and his father.

Ken’s venture into his life-long dream of writing began with his retirement from a successful business career as a Logistics executive. His other novels include Blood Money, Fatal Dose and Everyman, Revisited. His short stories also appear in several online publications. He and his wife Jeannette and dog Gunther live in an Ohio suburb and can be contacted at kjans3@yahoo.com
