From James Dain…
I love a good thriller--with lots of action, a murder or two, a seamy setting and an everyday hero who has to get to the bottom of a mystery or die trying.
The problem is finding enough of the kind of great stories that keep you up reading all night. Big name authors too often disappoint, and eBooks offerings by new authors sometimes meander and fall flat.
That’s when I decided that if wanted to read fast-paced stories with intriguing themes, fun settings and quick-thinking characters, I’d have to write them myself.
The Hard Knocks series was born: murder, mayhem, spine-tickling suspense thrillers featuring blood, sin and gripping mystery!
