Every page packs a punch with action and humor!

Take It Back is the first short read in a series by the same name, pairing action with unexpected humor.. In order for a quick read (under 100 pages) to prove engrossing, every word counts…  Thus, Take it Back is packed with moving moments in nearly every paragraph; not the least of which is an opener that demands pursuit from the start:

“I was being held at knifepoint – always knifepoint. Why, I had no idea. I was a big guy. I could see over the crowds at Walmart. People moved aside as I walked down the street. You’d think I’d warrant being held at gunpoint. But it was always knifepoint. Always. Dammit.”

Rural Georgia comes to life in just a few pages: proof that a short piece written by a talented hand can prove just as engrossing as any full-length novel. Readers who enjoy crime stories that are specific and nicely embedded with humor and action will relish Take It Back not only for its intrigue, but for its purposeful consideration of life values.

(Pretty good, huh? Told ya.)

Some plot stuff and a little about the really cool main character I created:

Take It Back is the first short read in the Take It Back series. The series stars an exciting new character in crime fiction: Douglas Gage. Gage is a man equal parts Robin Hood and vigilante; and also happens to be funny as hell. He’s dedicated his life to getting justice for the little guy.

Gage fights for the forgotten,
because no one is going to forget him.

What Steinbeck would write if he grew up in modern day rural Georgia and had only 69 pages.

Vigilante Justice Thriller Take It Back is full of riveting action sequences, on the edge of your seat suspense, lots of world class humor, unexpected thrills, mysterious intrigue, revenge,  sudden turns into a dark world of crime, and (of course) vigilante justice.
