Thief's Odyssey
Page 26
“To be honest,” I said, “I think the whole thing’s really, really, really appalling.”
“Yes, it is.”
She leaned back, and the tension seemed to ease from the moment. A good thing, too, because she was freaking me out a little.
“Kate?” I said, after a pause.
“Hmm?”
“Before you turn me in to the Feds…”
She nodded, smiling faintly.
“Would you care for a game of Scrabble?”
Dear Reader

Also, the more reviews it gets, the more likely people are to find it, so a short review would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome Indie Fiction
In early 2014 I decided to read more books from indie authors, with the hope of discovering those hidden gems in the hundreds of thousands of books available for purchase. I’d set myself an impossible task, and I knew I could never do more than scratch the surface. After reading a great many reviews and fielding tips from people I trusted, I discovered six incredible authors who knocked my socks off with their amazing writing:
Lindy Moone – Hyperlink from Hell
C.L. Ervin – Dell Zero
Mark Capell – Cafe Insomniac
Dan C. Rinnert – Dan’s Lame Novel
P.T. Hylton – Regulation 19
Harvey Click – The Bad Box
Acknowledgments
Special thanks to the following people, who read various incarnations of Thief’s Odyssey over the years: Lindy Moone, Carol Kean, P.T. Hylton, Elizabeth, Marc, Rob, and Rick.
I’d also like to thank Bill Mason, the “Master Jewel Thief,” whose biography inspired me to write this book.
