Rum Runner

by Chris Bostic

After a couple months on a deserted Caribbean island, Rick and Faith realize their new home away from the troubles back home isn't exactly a tropical paradise. They pass their time distilling various liquors for Conrad's buddy Forrest to sell, only the old sailor comes and goes randomly, and the couple never sees any profits -- or much to eat beyond some second-rate canned food. With boredom and frustration running rampant, the group is close to splintering.
To make matters worse, excitement unexpectedly arrives on the beach, leading to an epic chase across the West Indies. Shuttered resorts and slums offer no place for rest, as the group tries to find somewhere safe to set up a new still site, all while menacing speedboats and a shady, playboy businessman interfere.

Also from 2019, my biggest, most popular release was a three book series comprised of Prepper Mountain, Shadow Warriors, and Jailbreak. The novels are essentially wilderness Red Dawn-style adventures set in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Prior to my newest series, my standalone novel, Creeper Falls was published. It's another classic teen action/adventure that's even more heavy on suspense: http://www.amazon.com/Creeper-Falls-C...

Before Creeper, I released Complex Three, the third in a YA, SciFi, dystopian thriller series. It all started with Savage Hills, an edge-of-your-seat story about teens trapped behind enemy lines. Even if they could, they're not sure really want to make it back to so-called friendly territory. Check it out here:

Prior to that series, my latest book was Murder Cove. While not a huge departure from my usual outdoorsy wilderness survival adventures, this one has a bit of an indoors Die Hard feel too--and a nice dose of humor.
On Kindle and paperback.

One of my more recent releases, Game Changer, is a float trip gone wrong. It's perhaps a bit like Deliverance...for teens.

Then there's the trilogy, which was finished in 2015. Hard to believe it's come to an end, starting with...
Fugitives from Northwoods -- a dystopian, action/adventure novel:

Then there's Book 2 in the series, Rebellion in Northwoods. Find it here:

And, finally, Return to Northwoods. The conclusion to my three year labor of love. Out now in ebook and paperback.
