The people in these stories know about trouble. Many of them choose their own tasty stew of bad choices, bad company and hard times. Some cut corners and take big risks in the pursuit of money or love or revenge. Others do their best to stay out of harm's way, but find themselves pulled down into horrors of someone else's design. J. Michael Blue creates characters who come off the page in full round. Each one is unique and each will stay with the reader long after the story has been put back on the shelf.
