Amazon Synopsis:
A naughty old woman. A
girl locked away. Men desperate for money. The people caught in the crossfire
of other people’s lives as they implode. The Desperate and the Damned contains
14 stories that look at both sides of crime. There are the criminals, desperate
for money or revenge or driven by their own desires. There are the victims, who
suffer at the hands of others. Some get revenge, some get justice and some
elude suspicion from anyone willing to take action. Others are damned from the
first word, the ones who never could catch a break no matter how hard they
tried. Justice is both served and denied throughout these pages, much as it is
in real life.
Whether it’s a naughty grandma heading out to find a guy to bring home to satisfy her desires, a mother struggling with mental illness, a guy about to lose his job who doesn’t know how he’ll pay the bills, each character is living on the edge of their existence, forced to extreme measures to right wrongs or survive.
The only question is will they?
