A horrific accident happens when Zander is fifteen years old. It shapes the next twenty years of his life. His wanderlust and passion for uncommitted relationships seems to be a direct result of his girlfriend’s death. But something was nagging at his core and it was telling him that past events were not what they appeared. Zander’s seemingly pointless life leads him from a small town in Iowa to Omaha, Nebraska and finally to Frisco, Colorado. The people he meets may finally give him some meaning to an unfulfilled life. Then the unthinkable, a private investigator tells him Sara Jane may be alive. But he always knew that. Always A Kicker is a story of dealing with events of the past and learning to make your own luck by taking life head on even when dealt a rotten hand. - - -

[Kevin · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the beginnings of a small town boy, who seeks adventure, this book caught me. It was a great read and I look forward to any future Zander tales.

[J.L. Greger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Teenage sexual fantasies and the memory of a terrible accident haunt Zander for twenty years in Always a Kicker. He can’t seem to stop drifting through his life, instead of living it. Why?

This thriller paints a vivid picture of a baby boomer’s sensual awakenings in the 1960s and excessive indulgence in booze and meaningless relationships in the 1980s. The plot twists are many, but the characters (Zander, Fats, Jasper) are the stars of this book.

A great first novel. I enjoyed the story at the start and found myself liking it more and more as the book went on and. I became more involved. Already looking forward to reading more about Zander and the crew!
