Burn Cards

Burn Cards

"BURN CARDS is a gritty, gut punch of a novella that rides like a rocket. A vivid postcard from loser town."
--Roger Smith, author of Man Down, Mixed Blood and Wake Up Dead

Mirna Fowler believes she has been cheated in life, growing up in a broken home alone with a drunken and gambling-addicted father. Now she works at a small hair salon in Reno, doing her best to survive while she saves money for school. Hoping to get a degree that will take her places.

But in the wake of her father's death, Mirna inherits his extravagant debt, an amount of money she can never repay. As her fractured world begins to crumble, the search for the truth sets her on a path where life hangs on her every move.
