Mighty, Mighty is a modern day fable set in a crumbling metropolis
riddled with urban poverty and violence. Dirty apartments, tattoo
parlors, food kitchens -- these are the markers of home for the
struggling young adults around Chicago. Stefy is an artist at Ghost
Town, the local tattoo shop, trying to provide for her younger
sister Amanda and their ailing grandfather. Amanda is hoping for
something better, seeking to escape a past riddled with addiction
and an abusive relationship with Georgie. When he confronts her one
drunken night at a dive bar, the situation turns violent: Amanda
barely escapes with her life but Georgie lies dead on the bathroom
floor. This one mistake puts the two sisters in the crosshairs of
Georgie's father, a twisted, corrupt ex-cop now out for revenge
over the murder of his son. His quest for vengeance will make the
neighborhoods of Chicago tremble, leaving no one untouched. Mighty,
Mighty is a harsh and realistic look at the struggle of two
families desperately trying to get out from under the heavy boot of
violence and poverty. Like the works of Richard Price and Dennis
Lehane, the novel is a startling and accurate portrait of
contemporary urban life
FOUR CORNERS is a bare-knuckled debut novel about life, love, and
violence along four states of the American southwest -- both a
savage, mean-streets thriller and a heartbreaking story of
unfortunate love. For the better part of thirty-seven years, Frank
Bruce has hobbled through life, dragging his hunger for
amphetamines, alcohol, and crime behind him like a heap of
tarnished weight. Now, emboldened by the love of his child-fiance
Maddie Nicole, Frank goes on the run through the drug underworld of
the Southwest trying to save a young boy from his meth-riddled
father and casino mogul grandfather. Caught in a cat-and-mouse
chase but still determined to protect what he loves, Frank seeks
help from his onetime mentor, legendary drug kingpin Jon Santer.
But in doing so, Frank triggers a vile reckoning with his terrible,
violent past.
