It was first inked before both of my first two published novels. Back then, I’d obtained a literary agent for the story that is now The Deadly Deal and was a few weeks away from him submitting it to publishers when tragedy struck. He was diagnosed with cancer and shortly after passed away. When that happened, I shoved the manuscript in the proverbial drawer. After publishing my first two books, I decided to reread it and just couldn’t shake the idea, so I decided to give it a fresh look.
