Asking for Trouble is my second collection of crime stories. Feel free to leave your thoughts and feelings about this book.
PREMISE: The road to crime begins with a single decision—the wrong one. Not every decision belongs to the criminally minded. Some belong to the ill-informed, the weak and the plain unlucky. In these tales, trouble isn't an indiscriminate force of nature. It's a manmade occurrence that comes when called upon.
In these stories, you'll find Richard who is so tired of supporting his deadbeat in-laws that he's going to cut themm out of his life—for good. Jamie Lassen is just Protecting The Innocent when he tells Chris Forbes to stop dating his sister. A simple Fender Bender with a drug dealer's car put Todd in hock with the mob and the kingpin makes Todd responsible for a much larger debt. The Taskmasters picked Matt out just as the right time. Tired of his dead-end life, he was looking for someone to turn his life around.
These tales and others prove that Asking for Trouble is a case of good intentions gone bad and bad intentions gone worse.
It's available in ebook form from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Sony, Diesel, Smashwords and Apple iBookstore and it'll be in print in 2011.
