The Criminals – Book I: A Time to Sow is the first book of a thrilling new action-packed series. Orion Jackson is the criminally brilliant convict who spearheads the BGO, otherwise known as the Black Gansta Organization.

While pursuing his vendetta, Orion finds himself caught up in another conflict with deadly skirmishes with one of the most formidable underworld organizations in the country. With the fire burning on both ends of the candle, Orion faces the challenges of keeping his organization afloat, even as he desperately fights for his own survival.
