In the beginning, so it goes, humans were too powerful. But how do you check them? Bring them back into line? Subdue them?

Apparently, you cut them in half.

They spend the rest of their lives wandering around looking for their other half. Their soulmate. The One, with a capital “O” who completes them.

Jess thought Michael had meant his vows a year ago. As far as unmarried them could understand what they were promising each other. Maybe things had changed. Or maybe they just had different interpretations of what had been promised. Either way, the fear of their differences being unfix-able was slowly making way in Jess' mind for the thought that this might be just a bump in the road that they'd look back on and joke about in fifty years.

Hopefully.

After building a career in private investigation and police consultation work, Jack's stream of clients, and subsequently income, has slowed down. An officer with the Lakewood Police Department throws Jack a case that the LPD has been working on for the past two months. The day after Jack accepts the case, his client is found murdered at the original crime scene. Can Jack bring a thief and murderer to justice and salvage his career? Or will his own former ties to the mafia silence him forever?

This is the first book in a short series with Jack as the titular character. RING BY SPRING will be serialized on the blog this year, beginning with Chapter One on January 13th, 2023! Over the next few years I’ll be releasing six of the seven book series on my blog.
