What happens when the underdog fights back?
When Travis suddenly finds himself out of work and financially strapped, he turns to his brother, Ethan, for help. Ethan has started a thriving new business but like most of his past ventures, it isn’t legal. Travis is soon thrust into the brutal and unfamiliar world of dog fighting.
Travis’s inner turmoil reaches its boiling point as he’s torn between his loyalty to his brother and protecting the animals he’s grown to care about. Just when Travis thinks he’s seen all he can handle, Ethan decides to give the dogs steroids to enhance their performance. The enhancements make the animals stronger, but as other side effects from the drugs start to surface, Ethan and his cohorts begin to wonder if they’ve made a catastrophic mistake.
From Literary Titan Award-winning author Anne Joyce, Underdog is a story of heartbreak, triumph, second chances and the fine line between family loyalty and doing what’s right.
Parched
It’s the 2040’s and the world has become a more terrifying place than anyone could’ve foreseen. The country is recovering from a devastating nuclear war that has left much of the earth scourged and uninhabitable. Some billion-dollar corporations took advantage of the destruction by purchasing the rights to water and selling it back to the public at ridiculous prices.
Joshua Wyman and Maria Perez struggle to adapt to this new violent world where muggings and murder over water are a common occurrence. The new water barons assign an army of brutes called “Purifiers” to instill order, but when people start mysteriously vanishing, Joshua and Maria begin to wonder if the Purifiers are behind their disappearance.
When Maria receives a frantic email from a friend in danger, she learns of the water barons’ plans for the “indigents” who can’t afford water. She desperately searches for someone to share her dark secret with who might be able to help. When her information falls into the hands of a violent anarchist group, their beaten down, oppressed city must confront what its inhabitants have long since hinted about, but never dared to whisper. Uprising.
