The Debt Hex
Imagine... you did everything in life that you were supposed to do. You worked hard, went to college, got married, and looked forward to starting a family. Then, in a flash, it’s all taken from you. You lose everything because of a draconian debt system that a bunch of greedy elites put into place.
Chad Miller never intended on becoming a serial killing, counter culture hero. However, desperation, depression, and overwhelming debt are known to alter a man’s train of thought. When Chad finds himself stuck in the middle of a recession, his entire existence changes.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chad’s forced to quit medical school. With only minimum wage and part time jobs available, the Miller’s struggle begins. After the forbearance time runs out, Chad finds himself unable to afford his student loan payments. The high interest rate loans compound, balloon into an insurmountable mountain of debt, and wreck his credit.
With credit checks in today’s job market, his chances of gainful employment are zilch. Likewise, finding a safe place to live is near impossible with bad credit. He’s even denied a passport to leave the country to try and seek out a better job market. Chad is now a debt slave.
After their wages are garnished, his wife can’t take it anymore. Their lives spiral out of control. Stress drives Chad to the brink of insanity.
Chad discovers that politicians, bankers, and wealthy business moguls “purposely” passed legislation that makes filing bankruptcy on student loans impossible. The system was designed to create life long indentured servants out of all the poor and working class, to pay down the National debt... he’s not very happy!
In this love, loss, dark humorous, revenge story, Chad achieves poetic justice like it’s never been seen before. Shot guns and sharks and plane crashes, oh my!

"THE INSIDIOUS STUDENT LOAN"... "We are presented with a detailed and depressing study of a young couple, Chad and Bel striving for the American Dream, but ultimately being crushed by credit card debt and student loans, while trapped in the clutches of a depressed economy. Sound familiar to anyone out there? Once things started going sour the downhill momentum increased, ensuring let down after tragedy. Comparisons are made to the practice of bankruptcy and even the return of defective products. No exceptions apply to student loans, period. In effect we are presented with a treatise on the dysfunctional aspects of the student loan bureaucracy and the cumulative affect debt can have on people under certain conditions. Between tragic loss and depression Chad lost it. Stay tuned to find out what happened to Chad and how he dealt with it. Tis a dish best served cold." 4 STARS, RJ, Goodreads
