The Heist


Homeless. Broke. But still, he’d never been completely alone…until now.

Joe Keith has been ditched by just about everybody. Along the way, he’s picked up a few people he cares about. People who are his responsibility. Just ask him, he’ll tell you: it is what it is, but he’s not going to stop looking out for them.

So, once in a while, an opportunity comes along. But not without a cost.

Nothing is free, in this life. There is always, always, a price to be paid.

Joe does what he has to do.

Personal note: not all of my kids are related to me. I wrote this story for my son, who spent some time being homeless. I was trying to show him I understood what he was telling me. It…seemed to work, for what I was trying to do. Does it work for anyone else? Well, I couldn’t say. This one’s for Paul.


Here’s how it works: The download link goes to BookFunnel. They’ll ask you for an email address to download. The confirmation email they send will include a link to download the story you’ve requested, and they’re supposed to be experts at helping you get the ebook file onto whatever device you prefer.

Right after that? You get another email, this one from me, with a link to the members-only download page. Lots and lots of stuff to read! All free, with no email address required from that point.

So, then you’ll be subscribed to get updates from me. More free books/stories, random middle-of-the-night thoughts, wild-ass schemes. You know, stuff. If you don’t want to keep getting it? No problem! You can unsubscribe right away. The free download page I send will keep working, and will keep getting updated too. You can check it whenever you like.

I’m trying to make this really easy!
