When a lifetime of bad karma finally lands on Bryan’s doorstep and leaves his brother dead, he must survive long enough to find the killers and get his revenge, but as the path only grows bloodier, Bryan may not be able to handle the steps he’ll need to take against his enemies.

On September 20th, 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island of Puerto Rico as a Category 4--a devastatingly powerful storm that left immense suffering in its wake. The island still hasn't recovered completely; a victim of continued neglect and the continued efforts of many to demean and frame Puerto Ricans as "other" or "lesser" even though they are citizens of the United States. Net proceeds from ¡Pa'Que Tu Lo Sepas! will benefit The Hispanic Federation: UNIDOS Disaster Relief & Recovery Program to Support Puerto Rico, a program working to help those still affected by the disaster and ensure continued safety in the face of continued weather-related events that can and will happen ...
Clayton Burroughs is sheriff of Bull Mountain and black sheep of the brutal and blood-steeped Burroughs clan. In the forties and fifties, the family ran moonshine over six state lines. In the sixties and seventies, they farmed the largest marijuana crop on the East Coast, and now they are the dominant suppliers of methamphetamine in the South. An uneasy pact exists between the law man and his folk, but when a federal agent shows up in Clayton's office with a plan to shut down Bull Mountain, his agenda will pit brother against brother and set Clayton on the path to self-destruction. BULL MOUNTAIN is a story about family, and the lengths men will go to protect it, honour it, or, in some cases, destroy it.
WE GO THROUGH LIFE NOT RECOGNIZING the grace and favor of God that has been bestowed on us. Grace goes with us wherever we go; it is the unmerited favor of God. The story of Angel Luis Colón is one full of grace. He has had a very difficult childhood, growing up with alcoholic parents, and throughout his life, he has faced adversities, but he understands that he has received grace from God, and so he is to pour out grace unto others. Giving grace and honor to his parents opened their hearts to receive salvation later in life. This is an example that God's grace breaks down barriers. It is our calling to pour out grace unto others. When others see us walk in grace and not in criticism, they will see Christ.

The stories in this collection represent a range in topics and styles and feature a wide assortment of individuals who, although diverse, all have in common a singular element—trouble in their lives. That’s what fiction is about—trouble—and short stories have a particular mandate to be about the frailty of the human condition as well as its strength. The author has an affinity for the disenfranchised among us and it is those often heroic people that interest him the most. In these stories he treats them with the sensitivity and dignity they deserve.
