The Reluctant: Crayder Chronicles, Book One (Volume 1)

If you were asked to do something really bad for very good reasons, would you? Tom feels trapped in his very mundane suburban life. He has a beautiful wife, a mortgage, a struggling business, more bills than he can handle, and a glaring lack of excitement. It is not a bad life, but it is far from the dreams he had as a child. He wants more. He takes to the skies, finding his respite in the air as a private pilot. Unfortunately for Tom, he is behind on payments for his plane and is coerced into taking odd jobs from a local crime boss. Tom is no criminal, but the errands he runs are just slightly on the wrong side of the law. Just as things begin to come under some semblance of control, he meets a woman who just might represent the adventure he seeks. He soon discovers that appearances, and beautiful women, can sometimes be deceiving. Full of action, adventure, suspense, thrills, and told with a liberal dose of humor, “The Reluctant” is the first in the Crayder Chronicles series. Approximately 78,600 Words.
