When Becky and Shelly steal a car with a trunk-load of drugs they think they’ve got it made. But when the guy whose drugs they stole sends a psycho to chase them down? These two gals wind up on a road trip for their lives. A great pulp page turner.
This book involves a metal band—weary road dogs—driving gig-to-gig across Ohio’s turnpikes and backroads, and making just enough money to get by. Things get crazy when the drummer hooks up with a groupie. Part music-driven, part love story. My kind of pulp.

This is a story about a couple of con men—who hook up with a mark they couldn’t con. In an RV built for the rich, these three head cross country. But some of the angry folks they’ve conned are looking for some payback. A lot of twists and turns certainly kept me reading.
LEADFOOT is part of duo with RUMRUNNERS its companion.

Most days it’s business as usual: make the haul, collect the money, and then it’s time to head on home. But when Calvin’s son loses his haul, all hell breaks loose as well.
