WARNING: What you are about to read is not a full-length novel. It is a collection of short stories that feature characters from my Troy Bodean Adventure series in their own complete vignettes. You will not need to buy anything else to “see what happens” in an unsatisfying cliffhanger. In fact, this collection will be updated from time to time with new stories – and you will never be charged for updated content. Stories: Troy Clint Bodean The Peppermint Hippo Troy Bodean is back from Afghanistan with no family, no job, and no money. So, he does what everybody does eventually, he goes to Vegas. Just before he's about to throw in the towel and head back home to Louisiana, he stumbles on a job and a girl at The Peppermint Hippo. This strip joint advertises 46 hot chicks and 1 ugly one - and has just lost their D.J. Enter Troy Bodean. This is the story of his short-lived, fun-filled, employment at the sweetest little club just off the Vegas strip. Joe Bond Shot Through The Back Joe Bond was a big help to Troy Bodean in tracking down the wild and wooly hitmen, Darren "The Body" McGlashen and Man'ti in Ocean Blue and later in finding out who killed Caroline Colpiller in Blight House. This is a story from his cold and lonely NYPD days. A day when a shot in the back sent his life spiraling out of control... all the way down to the Keys. Becky and RayRay The Dark Glasses And The Naked Truth Becky Patton like everything about her good friend and exceptionally talented sculptor RayRay Tishomura... except for RayRay's insistence on not wearing dark sunglasses to hide his unusual looking sightless eyes. So, Becky hatches a plan to amend the situation... unfortunately, she finds an uncomfortable truth to be laid bare... as in really, really bare... for all to see. Follow Becky and RayRay in a story that accompanies the forthcoming Stealing Savannah - Troy Bodean Adventure #4 Coming Soon Darren and Man’Ti A Slow Boat From New Zealand *** The Gallup Girls Dancin’ For Bana *** Ryan “RB” Bodean Midnight Flying I hope you enjoy these stories and take them for what they are – vignettes that help give the characters more depth and detail. I love each of these characters for different reasons and these stories get to help me explore who they really are and how they live their lives.
