Conning People is in Their Genes

Ex-con Chance Winston has been out of prison and on the straight-and-narrow for one thousand days, now making ends meet driving for a ride-sharing company. So, when he picks up a fare who threatens to upend his entire life, he’s a bit skeptical. But a family member is in trouble—serious, kneecapping trouble—and he reluctantly gets sucked back into the family business. Can he and his band of grifters pull off one last job to save the day? Or is Chance the one being scammed? In a family of con artists, where honesty is but a passing fancy, it’s really hard to tell.

About Alan

Before Alan stepped off the corporate merry-go-round, he had an eclectic (some might say disjointed) career. As an engineer, he worked on nuclear submarines, supervised assembly workers in factories, facilitated technology transfer from the Star Wars program, and learned to stack washing machines three high in a warehouse with a forklift. He even started his own recycling and waste reduction newsletter business. Now he writes fiction.
