The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones #1
The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones
On Christmas Eve 1985, young Nathan “Nan” Jones and his parents were headed home from a day of last minute shopping when tragedy struck. A few blocks away, a crazed drug addict on a PCP fueled rush had committed a double homicide and was frantically fleeing the scene of the crime. As the police pursued, he made a desperate attempt to evade them, which sent his car careening into a sea of unsuspecting pedestrians.
As EMS workers arrived on the scene, they noticed a thirteen year old boy standing alone in the middle of the street, his facial expression emotionless. In less than a New York minute, his life had tragically changed.
Nathan would spend the rest of his teenage years in an orphanage, where he befriended another teen named, Joseph Hayes. They share an unfortunate similarity. On the same fateful night, the same man murdered both of their parents. As future prospects began to look more promising for both youths, tragedy rears its ugly head once again.
Traps are set, lives are lost and hidden agendas will be revealed.

About the author
Moses Miller
18 books32 followersI'm a father a husband and an African American male who also happens to be a teacher, journalist, a motivational speaker and an award winning author for Mind Candy, LLC, which is a company focused on book publishing, the development of screenplays and educational programming for our youth. Some say I have the ability to capture the pulse of the streets with intelligent and well thought out story lines. However, I believe that I just write compelling books that transcend genres and labels, ultimately providing my readers with memorable experiences. I love to read, and I hate wasting my time on a bad book. So, it's that much more important to me to give my readers their money's worth (and more) when they purchase one of my books. In the past, I have contributed articles and written for various websites and publications including The Voice, Newsday and 88HIPHOP.COM I was the Editor in Chief of content. I hold a Bachelors degree in Business Management and a Masters of Science degree in Technology Management obtained from Polytechnic University. My first novel, Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones has received various awards and critical acclaim from readers and book clubs around the world. After the successful release of my first novel, I cemented a deal with F.E.D.S. magazine resulting in a joint venture to publish my second release, Once Upon A Time in Harlem in September of 2007. The highly anticipated second installment in the Nan series, The Game of Trife, was released through Mind Candy, LLC in August of 2008, and the finale in the series, Nan: The Trifecta was released two years later. I consider myself a socially conscious individual who strives to play a key role in helping to improve the literacy rates among African American and Hispanic youth. Through my American Me “Voices of Our Youth” program, I have worked with several other organizations in an effort to decrease the high school dropout rates plaguing lower income communities. Besides my fictional work, I have written inspirational books such as The Barack in Me and Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Young Like You. Both books were written specifically for young people, with themes that cross the boundaries of gender and race. I currently teach 6th graders in a high risk area, doing all that I can on a daily basis to inspire our youth to become the leaders of the future. I believe in taking the time needed each day to make a difference!

I really wanted to read one of Moses Miller's books. He is part of the Love Literature Tour (which I haven't been to, but I've read a lot of the authors), so I thought what better to do than start with the first book in the NAN series! It is also my book 13 out of 13 for the Oosa 2K11 13 week challenge for the 2nd quarter which ends today. I got done just in time. I just started this book the day before yesterday and had it 80% done as of last night! That's how quick this book went!
The story is about the lives of two boys, Nathan Jones (NAN) and Joseph Hayes (Joe). Both boys had tragedies strike when they were young--they both lost their parents. Officer Carson tries to help the boys, but the boys have no idea what they are getting themselves into. The story involves drugs, murder, corruption and so much more. There is not a slow spot in this story AT ALL!
Moses Miller has a unique style of writing. The story does not just drone on scene by scene. You go from present day back to the past and back to the present. I was really on the edge of my seat and could not believe how fast I flew through this book! There was a lot of action! I had no idea what to expect before I read this, but it included everything that I like about reading: action, sex, drama, oh yeah, and did I mention sex? LOL! Go out and read this one...no....go out and BUY this one and then read it! You won't be disappointed at all! The only thing I didn't like was the end. What happens next? I can't wait to read the next book to see!

Right Where We Left Off
Moses Miller brings us the highly anticipated sequel. Picking up right where he left off with Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones. If you have not read part one you need to cop that like a crack addict needing a hit. I promise you will NOT be disappointed.
We start off with Nan seeking revenge for all the love ones he has lost and the body count still counting. Retuning for the sequel Officer Carson the man, we all wish to see in a body bag. Of course, Officer Carson is still making mayhem for Nan. Each trying to stay five steps ahead of the other as they are now archenemies. Both have blood on their hands Carson from covering his tracks and Nan from trying to survive a game he was NEVER meant to survive. This story is so good I cannot even begin to go into details. You gonna have to read the book. This book answers all my questions and more. With a lot of unexpected twist and turns had me on the edge of my seat. I was routing for Nan as we all know he is a marked man.
Author Moses Miller's character development is great! He has a great pen game that has made him one of my favorites. He introduces us to new characters but not limited to Sister Sarah, her grandson Darius, Spider, Gunner, Tony, Derek, and Jada a lost teenager trying to find her way in this cold cruel world we live in. Moses does an amazing job tying them all together. Moses is master in pulling a story together, and a wizard at going into the past and the next chapter bringing us into the present. NO ONE does it better.
This book in my humble opinion is his best work to date. Moses just keeps getting better. I am always looking forward to reading his next novel. I hope this time he does not keep his fans waiting to long for Nan: Trifecta.

Moses Miller's debut effort Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones puts everyone talking bad about the Street Lit genre in check mate. This book is nothing short of remarkable. The Trifling Times of... provokes emotions of anxiety, sympathy and curiosity from the first word and keeps you hooked to the very last period. Set in Brooklyn, NY, during the Operation Falcon era of drug enforcement in the mid to late eighties, The Trifling Times of... gives the reader a behind the scene look underbelly of American Justice.
Nathan Jones is a complex man with a simple plan—survival. Little by little, everyone who Nathan loves is taken from him. His parents were killed as a result of a high-speed chase. A PCP junkie plowed over them with reckless rage after robbing and killing a liquor store owner and his wife. Nathan's mother pushed him to safety and his father came to her rescue just as the car crushed them.
Officer Mark Carson, the cop pursuing the murderous criminal, witnessed the vehicular homicide and takes Nathan under his wing. At the orphanage, Carson joins Nathan with Joseph Hayes—the son of the couple slain in the liquor store robbery that preceded the demise of Nathan's parents. A bond between blood brothers is forged, but their lives become anything but easy.
Carson introduces the boys to Master Thaddeus after they have problems with a teenage gang of 5 Percenters led by Shaborn. Master Thadeus is a master in the art of war and teaches Nathan and Joe how to defend and attack with precision. A couple of months later, Shaborn makes the mistake of stealing Joe's hat. Nathan demolishes Shaborn and gains the respect of all the boys in the orphanage.
Nathan becomes infatuated with Latoya, a girl at his high school. Latoya gives him the nickname "Nan", and it stays permanently with Nathan like a tattoo. Infatuation turns into love and the loss of their innocence. Then his first love and lover moves away without a trace after being raped by her step-father. Already bitter from the loss of his parents, Nan sinks deeper into mental darkness.
Carson gets into bad debt with a powerful loan shark named Sonny and finds himself on the losing end of one-hundred fifty thousand dollars with days to make good on his outstanding tab. The once flashy and proud Carson now crumbles under pressure, stealing money and drugs during routine police raids in an attempt to avoid paying his monetary obligation with his life.
Nan and Joe are even pawns in Carson's plan to stay alive. Given a duffel bag full of cocaine, the boys are instructed to drop it off with Sonny. Being told they are carrying paintings, curiosity leads to the chilling discovery. No sooner than they realize what they are really delivering, they are cornered by cops and forced to run. Nan risks his safety to allow Joe to escape.
Nan is caught, beaten and tortured. He is then forced to steal drugs from various drug dealers to keep Carson and Joe out of harm's way. Since they are his only link to humanity, Nan uses his training in martial arts to comply. The crooked cops resell the drugs and leaves Carson and Joe alone. Carson is nowhere to be found and Joe graduates high school and enters college for his new found skill—creative writing.
Once the drug laundering operation is in contention of being exposed, the group of crooked cops scramble to bring everything to a halt by killing all of the hood figures directly involved in their illegal enterprise. All but one—Nan dodges the manhunt leaving behind a bloody trail. The crooked cops kills everyone who could be a possible witness to their attempt to erase Nan. From the new love of his life and mother of his unborn child to old ladies to Joe, everyone is brutally slain by crooked cops and their deaths are attributed to Nan.
Little by little, Nan gets more information about who is really running this rogue operation and why. With his life on the line, he struggles to extinguish those who are dead set on extinguishing him. And from there the reader can fall in line with Nan...and expect the unexpected.
"The Trifling Times of..." reads more like a movie than a novel. The setting and time changes are cinematic. This can be attributed to Moses Miller's background in journalism. Flipping back and forth, the book seamlessly pieces together Nan's past and present preparing the reader for an intense climax. The reader gets to see Nan experience, directly and indirectly, the effects of how partial information can engender inaccurate perceptions. His life also provokes mixed emotions. Nan is an antihero of sorts that murders and steals so that the ones he loves can go unscathed by those who are truly crooked.
Moses Miller's tale of lost love and lurid leeway with the law may be considered a classic decades from now. It's books like this that should be brought to the table when people want to discuss the quality, or the lack thereof, of books published for readers of Street Lit. This is literature by its very definition: writings in prose or verse, especially writings having excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas of permanent or universal interest.
What did you like best about this book?
This book portrays the other side of the murderous streets than the one that the media gives us on a daily basis. The realism of the events that surround Nan's past and present sheds light on the corruption that can go unseen by those who are either out of the loop or want to turn a blind eye to the situation. Cops are supposed to be the good guys and the people they go after are supposed to be the criminal element. The Trifling Times of... shows how the opposite can be closer to reality.
This book goes hand in hand when police officers are killed off-duty and the details are sketchy or when some young black person is shot and killed in broad daylight with no witnesses except for the police officers who do the killing.
The Trifling Times of... makes some of the other Street Lit books look like studio gangsters in comparison. Moses Miller writes with relentless attention to details. This book has the same feel that Illmatic has.
I like the fact that this book is equal parts fast-paced thriller and retrospective pseudo-biography without losing its power. Moses Miller has a way of keeping the reader stuck to the pages whether Nan is running from the cops or from his turbulent past.
What did you dislike about this book?
I can't really pick out anything that I dislike about this enchanting novel. I actually enjoyed this book through and through. I have no qualms.
How can the author improve this book?
Moses Miller can only improve this book by writing another book that picks up the story of Nan where The Trifling Times of... left off.

Lost and Found
On Christmas Eve in 1985, two young lives would forever be changed. Joseph "Joe" Hayes and Nathan "Nan" Jones will connect due to a crazed drug addict. Officer Mark Carson decides to connect the two young boys, hoping to build a bond between them, and give him a taste of something he's always wanted, a family.
Readers will be bemused as they try to understand how an eager, soon to be father is quickly tossed into a death match. While the events of present day draw you in, Nan revisits his past, which in all actuality leads up to what currently surrounds him. Nan's corrupted innocence leads to a rebellious redemption that triggers the loss of love, lives and prospect. The untold truth is quickly unfolding with Nan placing the missing pieces of the puzzle together, but will he be able to connect the dots in time to salvage his own life?
Indisputably, Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones is by far one of the most action-packed thrillers that I've had the pleasure of reading for 2006.
Beginner Moses Miller has definitely reset the bar for my expectations and I'm actually thirsting to read Nan: The Game of Trife. In search for something creative, with pandemonium, the settling of scores and some liberation, then this is the read for you.

The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones is about the love shared by two boys and the betrayal that comes along with that love. Nathan and Joe were brought together under detrimental circumstances, unfortunately they have to live with this for the both of their lives.
The book was a great read. I would give it a big five star rating as far as credibility, holding my interest, and being able to follow the story line. It read just like you were watching a movie. I am one of the biggest procrastinators ever however once I started reading the book. I was hooked and unable to put it down; it ended up taking me two days to read. I loved how everything in the book is coinciding with each and individual character. The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones is a really deep book that is a must read. I think any generation will be able to enjoy this book.

Intriguing
I'd been hearing that Moses Millers' writing style represented a change from predictable, boring and humdrum, to exciting, suspenseful and memorable. I hesitated somewhat, but here I am admitting, ` Nan : The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones' is intensely suspenseful and a read that readers will definitely enjoy.
Nathan Jones, an orphan, is being hunted by the people who corrupted his childhood. We're granted full access from the past to present as we're following each detail to see what and how Nan will do as he deals with the consequences. The story flows perfectly, with great characters and a powerful storyline that immediately engulfs you. I can't wait to read ` Nan : The Game of Trife.'

Finishings
Moses Miller details the life of Nan, an orphan who is raised in an orphanage with another young boy, Joe. Joe's life parallels his own. The cop, Carson, who pursued both cases uses the loss as a way to attach the two boys, bonding them like brothers for life.
In this dramatic version, we learn that Nan is caught up in a betrayal of sorts that causes him to cross the line between right and wrong to protect the people that he loves.
"Nan: The Trifling Times of Nathan Jones" is electric read from start to finish and I’m counting down for the sequel.

The action jumps off the page and the lives lost will capture your heart. The coming of age story of Nan is incredible and the journey will keep you hostage until you read the last page. I agree with the other reviews and I'm in awe of the superior story progression, outstanding character development and enough mystery that kept this avid reader from eating dinner so I could finish the story. I'm ordering the next book in the series right now. This was truly a work of art by a author that has mastered the writing game.

The book definitely kept my attention. I was able to finish it in a couple of says. There was plenty of action and unexpected twists. My only disappointment was the way it ended. It almost forces the reader to buy the second book. Yet, I'm afraid because I don't want to be forced to buy a third book!

A Good Read. Two innocent young boys brought together by a tragedy to only to be misled by someone who they looked up too. Moses Miller takes you on a wild ride in this book. I can't wait to read the second book.
