Still Waters

by J V Osborne

Overview

Chad was a simple guy-a family man, hardworking, dedicated. Molly? Not so much. After 18 years of marriage, she strays into the arms of her late sister's husband, made wealthy from the wrongful death settlement. As his married life unravels, dark revelations expose sinister secrets, and he begins questioning everything about their relationship, including the paternity of his children. One thing is sure-he is done.

Then, when he's about to file the papers, he wins the Powerball jackpot!

Of all the rotten luck!

Cover-to-cover action filled with betrayal, deception, murder, tragedy, courtroom drama, and vengeance-offset with new beginnings, hope, resilience, a Caribbean adventure, and a spicy throuple romance.

Trigger warnings: profanity, vulgar language, graphic gun violence, death, trauma, and descriptive polygamous sex.

About the Author

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I am (unapologetically) a product of my environment. I am a Gen Xer, and as a kid, living on a boat in Puget Sound, there was no internet, cable TV, or satellite radio. Entertainment was limited to AM/FM, cassette tapes, and books. Clancy, Herbert, King, L'Amour, and Tolkien helped fuel a creative mind and push me toward creative expression. During my impressionable years, I became obsessed with fantasy and science fiction, immersing myself in the rich, imaginative realm of AD&D and the works of Eddings, Feist, Le Guin, Heinlein, McCaffrey, and Moorcock (to name a few). I was twelve when I wrote my first short story. A maritime lifestyle was a perfect segue to a twenty-year Navy career, where two pivotal things occurred: I learned a trade that would sustain me for life, and I earned a degree in Literature from the University of Maryland. After fifty-some trips around the Sun, I have come to rely less on extrinsic fulfillment and have looked inward to find a wellspring of ideas, plots, outlines, and narratives-eager to escape onto the written page. Since then, I have written and published over a dozen novels, as well as numerous short stories and novellas, which have been featured on various online forums and retailers.These days, I reside in Southern Tennessee, sharing my modest home with two entitled Rottweilers and an old cat. Aside from working, writing, and editing, I strive to maintain sustainable independence through gardening, making wine, kombucha, and sourdough, as well as canning, preserving, and raising chickens.
