I've had short stories published at a variety of websites. I write murder mysteries which include a subplot of non-compete agreements. I want people to see all the problems employees have because of their non-compete agreements.

What started as a fight in the back of a strip club between the two ended in the murder of Tony Sage. Michael stands accused of the murder because he was found unconscious next to the body with the murder weapon, a knife in his hand. Enter Jack Roscoe, Private Detective and former Navy Seal. He is hired by the firm to solve the murder. The problem: Jack doesn't like lawyers, especially ones who specialize in non-compete agreements.
