When one of his deputies is brutally gunned down during a routine traffic stop, Sheriff Carter Link doesn't just want justice, he wants whoever is responsible to pay. Leaving behind the safety of his beloved Floyd County, Carter ventures deep into the mountains of Kentucky, chasing killers who think they can hide in the dark.

But the deeper he goes, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Allies can't be trusted, the law begins to lose its meaning, and Carter is pushed to the edge of everything he believes in. Out there, there are no rules, only survival...and what a man is willing to become to finish the hunt.

I started writing when he was in seventh grade. With my overactive imagination, I wrote a short story for a class that was later printed in the local paper. It was the first thing in my life that I was extremely proud of. My teacher, Mrs. Scott, saw my talent and encouraged me to continue to write. I did just that for a couple of years but like most kids found interest in other things. After setting aside my love of writing and drawing as a teen, I returned to it as a young man and started writing stories and creating comic book characters. Using my children, loved ones, and friends as inspiration, I have created over a hundred characters and stories that I still hope to publish. I've always considered myself more of a creator than a writer, so I spent two decades looking for a collaborator and in 2017 I found not one but two people willing to write with me. After several collaborations with Charles Little Jr and Tammy Dale, I feel like he can finally write on my own. I am grateful for everything I have learned from them and others, and I set out to write the second and third novels in the Sheriff Carter Link series. I plan to continue on with the novels I have started along with creating new stories and characters. I also hope that someday I can help others with their dreams of becoming published authors.
