Substack Exclusive: Inherent Violence


Substack subscribers, it's here! Chapter One of Alex's story, Inherent Violence, is now available. This first chapter is free for everyone, so you can go read it and decide if you'd like to subscribe for future chapters. 

Here's the blurb:

Three months ago, former FBI agent Alex Bonfils buried his mentor, quit his job, bought a Harley, and followed his half-brother back to Knoxville with a brave idea that he would prospect the Lean Dogs MC. But now, living at an extended stay motel, the harsh reality of upending his life starts to take hold. He still hasn't made peace with his bloodline - with the violence that lives inside him - and he's exploring all options before turning fully toward the club.

Miranda Reddy is on the run. With her six-year-old daughter Casey in tow, she takes a job as a jumping instructor at Briar Hall Farm in Knoxville, working for Emmie Walsh. She likes her new boss, loves the farm, loves working with students and horses. But her frightening past is still very much a part of the present, and she can't decide if trusting the Lean Dogs - specifically Alex - is a safe bet, or even more dangerous than the threat she's fled. 

This is very much an experiment for me. I've had lots of questions about Substack, about how to subscribe, and about whether or not this book will wind up being published on Amazon. As for Substack, follow the link in line one to go read the chapter, and it'll prompt you to subscribe once you finish. You can subscribe for free, and have access to any free content I post, but will need to become a paid subscriber to read the rest of this story. 

As for a book version - I'm undecided. I'm still working on the Drakes and SoR, but I'm going to see how it goes with Inherent Violence before I make a decision on that. For now, I hope you'll join us on Substack, and I hope you'll enjoy Alex's story.
