Fighting Words
(based on a true story)
Max was just a thirteen year old nobody – until the fight.
He didn’t plan the fight.
He didn’t even want the fight to happen – but after he stood up to Rodney freaking Hammerhead to protect his sort-of-best-friend Tommy – Max decided that fighting could be a good thing.
People looked up to fighters.
Girls liked fighters.
Now Tommy and Max have decided to create their own personal fight club.
It seemed like a good idea – but what can I tell you?
Sometimes stupid just gets in your eyes.

About the author

247 books206 followersHi! I'm Steve Vernon and I'd love to scare you. Along the way I'll entertain you. I guarantee a giggle as well.
If I listed all of the books I've written I'd bore you - and I am allergic to boring.
Instead, let me recommend one single book of mine.
Pick up SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME for an example of true Steve Vernon storytelling. It's hockey and vampires for folks who love hockey and vampires - and for folks who don't!

September 17, 2014In the interest of full disclosure - I am the author of FIGHTING WORDS.
I just wanted to tell folks a little bit about my new e-book.
I'm pretty excited about the book's release.
FIGHTING WORDS was originally a short story that I wrote for HARD OL' SPOT - a 2009 collection of dark maritime tales put together by Killick Press and edited by Mike Heffernan.
The idea for the story first after I read a 2008 newspaper article regarding a teenage fight club that had sprouted up in Hants County, Nova Scotia. Police stepped in and the fight ring was broken up - for good reason - but as I read that article I understood just how such a club could actually start up. I wanted to write something that took a look at both sides of the situation.
And so I give you FIGHTING WORDS.
Available only on Kindle.
