Tough Guys

Bullets. Booze. Bad luck. It's all here.

These tales––written in terse and urgent prose––delve into the dark underworld of drifters, gangsters, wannabe hoods and small town folks in slippery situations.

Here's a taste of what you'll find in Tough Guys, an entertaining collection of thrilling stories:

Apprentice: Ronnie might be a truck driver, but he's something else too... a hitman.

Room Number Six: Frank just got out of prison and he's not too happy to find his wife in bed with a prison guard. What's he gonna do?

No Sé: Hector has been a gangster his whole life. He's rock hard. But this hard-hearted gangster just met his match––a six-year-old girl named Charlotte.

Last Shift: Everybody has a breaking point. For Sandy, a waitress at an all-night diner, her breaking point might be tonight. A slick crook picks her up from work, but Sandy's luck means this guy is up to no good. Will Sandy, the thin little blonde with three-inch heels, finally snap?

You Ever Hear About War Dogs, Sam?: Hayes is a small-town kid who works at a discount store. What's his future? The U.S. Marine Corps. But when Hayes gets back, he's a little bit different.
