Red Rock:
First Blood
A Novel
In Red Rock, nothing comes easy—and nobody’s coming to save you.
Zoe, Shane, Felisha, and Elsa are just trying to survive. Long shifts at a dying diner. Bills stacking up. Dreams slipping further out of reach. When the bottom finally falls out, they make a choice—quick, desperate, and dangerous.
Rob a local dispensary. Get in. Get out. Start over.
But the job goes sideways.
A gun goes off. Blood gets spilled. And what they steal isn’t just cash—it’s something far more valuable… and far more dangerous.
Now they’re not just in trouble.
They’re targets.
We can eliminate disappointment when we realize life happens just as it should..."
