Scott Stevens I would like to put my books out there so members can use them as part of the great November event coming up. The first thriller I wrote was a crime drama/thriller called On Ice.

The book reached #3 in Japan, #4 in the UK, #9 in Germany, and #14 in the USA.

“Scott Stevens knows how to write a thriller and keep you moving on to the next page.” – Amazon Review

“This book sucked me so much I really did not see the end coming in a million years. It is just pure genius.” – Amazon Review

“Scott Stevens is not going to be a 'new author' for long, as he's going to be up there with the greats really soon.” – Amazon Review

“The prison and courtroom descriptions make you never want to be in either, providing insights that I haven't read in other novels.” -- Amazon Review

“This is the first time in ages that I had no idea what was going to happen. Think you have it figured out? Read it to the end. You don't!” – Amazon Review

John Kinkaid and Tammy Marx meet under the most unusual of circumstances and their lives are forever changed. Tammy, a devoted housewife, lived a quiet life raising her two children. That is until her husband cheated on her and began to abuse her. Tammy had a plan to get out of the marriage, but things didn’t go as she had hoped.

John Kinkaid, a former United States Marine, is a member of Detroit’s top SWAT unit. After being with the unit for many years he is getting ready to retire from the force. His past relationships have failed miserably and it can be mostly attributed to his love of alcohol. He carried his self-destructive ways into the workplace and decided one night to take the law into his own hands. This led to a world of trouble that he never dreamed he would be in.

When John and Tammy’s lives cross paths it starts them down a trail of twists and turns neither would have ever imagined. Tammy finds herself doing things outside the box, completely out of character for her. John finds himself with feelings he never had but is it enough to change his old ways?

Along the way, each of them will learn more about irony than they ever expected.

The story takes place over several days and it gives you incredible insight into what a man goes through when he crosses over from cop to criminal. The novel contains courtroom and prison insights and descriptions that are so authentic you feel like you are there.

Scott Stevens I would like to put my books out there so members can use them as part of the great November event coming up. The second thriller I wrote was a natural disaster thriller called Twister Town.

This one hit #1 in Germany, #7 in the USA, and #19 in the UK.

“Wow, what a great book. Great characters. Great plot. Loved it.” – Amazon Review

“Breathtaking. Did not want to put it down. Almost makes you scream.” – Amazon Review

“Had me holding my breath, crying and cursing all at the same time. A must read.” – Amazon Review

“Scott Stevens has shown beautifully how a town in such a dilemma copes with the traumas of such devastation.” – Amazon Review

“Twister Town is a finely crafted attention grabber that places you nicely on the edge of your seat, that you find yourself firmly gripped to, as you lose yourself in its fantastic story.” – Amazon Review

Emma Green is the local meteorologist for the small town of Tolland, Kansas. The town has a lucky history of never suffering a direct hit from a tornado, but Emma has information that suggests this lucky streak is about to come to an end. Her boss disagrees with her forecast and will not allow her to air her predictions. With her job being threatened and her ability to save lives severely limited, what will she do when facing the dilemma of a lifetime?

Set in a small town over the course of several days, this book brings to life exactly what it’s like to live in a small mid-western town during the height of tornado season. It sheds an important light on the false sense of security that some towns live in. This story is said to be one of the best releases of 2017 and is the most authentic tornado novel to come along in years.

Scott Stevens I would like to put my books out there so members can use them as part of the great November event coming up. The third thriller I wrote was an action/adventure thriller called On the Run.

This one reached #5 in the United States, #15 in the United Kingdom, and #27 in Canada.

Have you ever done a good deed for someone and things didn't turn out quite as you planned? You'll be pulled in by this thriller because you HAVE done a good deed before, but not had to face the danger that Dwight faces from one kind act.

Just by being a nice guy Dwight Cobb, unfortunately, finds himself right smack in the middle of a major drug deal gone bad. He’s forced to go on the run for his life from a Cuban drug cartel. While on the run he meets some new friends, reconnects with an old acquaintance, and in the midst of all the chaos, his wife, Colleen, mysteriously disappears. Where could she have gone and why? Does Dwight ultimately survive the cartel hit squad sent to kill him?

Set across the country over the course of several days, the book takes you on a journey into what it’s like when a good deed goes bad. It brings you from Miami to Cabo San Lucas and puts you right into the mindset of what it’s like to be chased by a Cuban drug cartel. Said to be one of the best releases of 2018, you are sure to be entertained… and scared!

Scott Stevens I would like to put my books out there so members can use them as part of the great November event coming up. The fourth thriller I wrote (and latest to date) was an action/adventure thriller called Deadly Roses.

This one reached #3 in the United States and #25 in Japan. It probably ranked highly in other countries but unfortunately, my publishing company botched the launch and many rankings were either lost or never gathered. The reviews that have come in have been fantastic.

Love isn't always champagne and roses and it's certainly not the case in this love triangle thriller with a twist. A dominating, abusive boyfriend is being ousted for a romantic hero, but there are deadly consequences. Step into the gang life and witness the savagery as they stop at nothing to seek revenge. You've heard the old saying: "Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl." Now you can add: "Girl's gang-leader boyfriend doesn’t like the new addition."

Scott Stevens I would like to put my books out there so members can use them as part of the great November event coming up. I took a break from writing thrillers to do a pro wrestling biography for a friend of mine. It is the only biography that I will do as I am back to writing thrillers again, but this one was fun and very well received. It's called Squared Circle, Full Circle.

It was an Amazon #1 New Release, for both the kindle and the paperback, in the United States. It also reached #2 in the United States in the Wrestling category and #5 in the United Kingdom.

Hello, I’m former professional wrestling manager, Joe Abel. I worked on the independent circuit during the 90s and into the 21st century. You might remember me as Joe Cool, Gigolo Joe, or Al Bino. During my lengthy career in the business, I worked with some of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Alongside these big named performers, I had opportunities to make the jump up to the next level and play with the big boys. Instead, I settled for a long, slightly less successful career, just a step below the big time. I have no one to blame but myself for all the “what if” scenarios in my life, and believe me, there were lots of them.

Even though I was always one step shy of my ultimate goal, I have no regrets today about the decisions I made. Join me and I’ll take you on a fun ride that begins with me as a fan, and ends with a long run as an innovative and successful professional wrestling manager on the independent circuit.
