Tales of Crime & Violence are a collection of three books of my short, and not so short stories. The ideas and inspiration are many and as varied as each of the individual tales themselves. Although all the stories in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story is of the people involved, why and how they came to be in this position, whether they were forced or coerced, willing participants or victims themselves. Are they committing the crime, or are they simply the victims... sometimes it is not so easy to tell.
