Its a different model than a standard book series. Liquid Courage brings the reader into a different element of the same world as my first book, Ash Wednesday, exploring the sport of competitive bodybuilding, HGH abuse and Native American tribal casinos. I wanted to create the type of book that I wanted to read, which is a great mixture of FBI thrillers fiction, mens rights movement, and modern day gladiators as well as steroids side effects, setting the story in a fictionalized version of Spokane, Wa.I also thought having an Alex Jones' level of conspiracy was a great way to show the point of view and distrust from the tribal resort staff as the FBI pounds down their doors in the midst of a casino robbery.Q - Why should readers give Liquid Courage a try?A - My aim from page one of this book was to make something that I not only wanted to read, but had never read before. This isn't a cop killer fantasy, but a behind the scenes peek into aggressive gym workouts, the creation of massive human muscles and machine guns. It's also about Dean's inability to gain his father's love, and how many things can be framed as addiction that have nothing to do with drug abuse.Liquid Courage is a great mixture of different genres, focusing on thrillers, suspense and even elements of horror as the human growth hormone abuse of pink cadillac/fireball begins to a metamorphism of the body builders, especially the main character, Dean Shockley. It helps position them into criminals, ready to do anything to feed their nasty, growing habit.I am a firm believer in cutting down on the word count as well. Liquid Courage is around 80,000 words in order to be a weekend read, to keep you turning the pages with actions and an intense plot.Thanks for reading!Liquid Courage eBook Categories- Crime thrillers- Thrillers and Mysteries Best Sellers- Action thrillers- Suspense thrillers

Its a different model than a standard book series. Ash Wednesday brings the reader into a different element of the same world as my second book, Liquid Courage, where Frank Gryzbowsky ends up leaving his fellow prisoners behind on a technicality, released into a hard boiled underworld, chasing a satchel of diamonds while dealing with the mafia, murder and an ensuing police chase. I wanted to create the type of book that I wanted to read, which is a great mixture of FBI thrillers fiction, where every character is hunting for diamonds, but also dealing with internal struggles, setting the story in a fictionalized version of Spokane, Wa.I also thought that having a local mafia, run by a crime boss named Irish Pete, would bring a certain interest to the story. My aim is make a hard boiled book that effectively fits in the genre.Q - Why should readers give Ash Wednesday a try?A - My aim from page one of this book was to make something that I not only wanted to read, but had never read before. This is about various members of the underworld fighting to grab hold of a bag of wealth, in the form of diamonds. Too often, when you have a police chase or detective story, they rely on characters which are too pure or too evil. The characters who are shades of gray interest me, and honestly make for better story narratives. I also adding the logic behind why two prison guards would risk everything to hunt down Frank Gryzbowski and the diamonds.Ash Wednesday is a great mixture of different genres, focusing on thrillers, suspense and even elements of horror in the form of Dr. Moreland's mastiffs and showing the true nature of killing someone, as Sully goes through a psychological transition, during the arch of the book.I am a firm believer in cutting down on the word count as well. Ash Wednesday is around 80,000 words in order to be a weekend read, to keep you turning the pages with actions and an intense plot.Thanks for reading!Ash Wednesday eBook Categories- Crime thrillers- Thrillers and Mysteries Best Sellers- Action thrillers- Suspense thrillers
