Seven dead Wolves. A detective fighting for his life. A host of associated players all fighting to make sense of what happened and how they can move forward. Kyle Clady, continually pushing forward, knowing there is no way he can possibly stop. Not now. Not with the answers he so desperately needs just starting to round into view. In the wake of the battle at the Valley View Inn and Suites, everybody in the greater San Diego area is reeling. Detective Marsh retreated to the Parkside Hospital to sit vigil over his partner, praying the young man will pull through. The scattered members of the Wolves gathered in secret, attempting to patch together what remains of their once-proud organization. Hired gun Sven rises with the sun to pack up his van and relocate, sensing the end is near and he will need to be far away when it comes. Moving in concert with them all is Kyle, a man accustomed to battle. He’s seen more skirmishes, like the one the night before, than most people can fathom. Knows the effect they have on the mind and body. The best ways to stave off the lingering effects they can produce, working to get ahead while the opportunity presents itself. An opportunity so long in coming, he is not about to let food, sleep, or physical discomfort keep him from it…

I originally hail from the midwest, growing up in the heart of farm country, and still consider it, along with West Tennessee, my co-home. Between the two, I have a firm belief that football is the greatest of all past-times, sweet tea is really the only acceptable beverage for any occasion, there is not an event on earth that either gym shorts or boots can't be worn to, and that Dairy Queen is the best restaurant on the planet. Further, southern accents are a highly likeable feature on most everybody, English bulldogs sit atop the critter hierarchy, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Saturday night spent catfishing at the lake. Since leaving the midwest I've been to college in New England, grad school in the Rockies, and lived in over a dozen different cities ranging from DC to Honolulu along the way. Each and every one of these experiences has shaped who I am at this point, a fact I hope is expressed in my writing. I have developed enormous affinity for locales and people of every size and shape, and even if I never figure out a way to properly convey them on paper, I am very much grateful for their presence in my life. To sum it up, I asked a very good friend recently how they would describe me for something like this. Their response: "Plagued by realism and trained by experiences/education to be a pessimist, you somehow remain above all else an active dreamer." While I can't say those are the exact words I would choose, I can't say they're wrong. I travel, live in different places, try new foods, meet all kinds of different people, and above all else stay curious to a fault. Here's hoping it continues to provide us all with some pretty good stories...
