Messenger of the Reaper

About the Book

After forty years of service, an aging hit man pursued by the reaper asks for retirement options. To his surprise, he is offered to retire as a consultant. The only catch is that he has five new recruits to look at for evaluation to see who can be trained to replace him. After choosing one recruit, they share more than just training. A bond forms between the two like neither had ever imagined could be. As the training ends, the hit man has one last request from the trainee. Through their journey, an explosive and dramatic episode unveils, with secrets revealed.

About the Author

I was born 11-06-1960, in Sherman, Tx, but spent most of my life in Ft Worth, Tx. I have two grown children, Elizabeth-27, and Jimmy Jr-29, who also reside here in Tx. I also have two teenage stepchildren that live at home with me, Francisco-16, and Kristofer-15. I have been divorced once, but I am currently remarried to my wife Angelyn Straley-34, who did the editing on this book. I first started writing this book back in 2008, but circumstances and lack of support prevented me from continuing. It wasn’t until 2015 when my new wife inspired me to restart and continue my pursuit in finishing the book. Since then, I have worked diligently in bringing the reaper to life (so to speak) which has been a figment of my imagination for some time.
