GO HOME, AFTON by Brent Jones Now Available

If you were to describe your local, small town children's librarian - or even how you imagine one - you'd probably use words like kind, quiet, and harmless. However, in Brent Jones' new serial thriller series The Afton Morrison Series (First installment, Go Home, Afton, is now available on Amazon), the local children's librarian, Afton Morrison, couldn't be further from what one might expect. In this dark yet empowering series, Jones weaves a portrait of his unlikely heroine, whose day job goes by the wayside at night when she turns into a violent vigilante. With a deft hand, Jones creates a complex character who blends her base urges and desire for justice to create her motivation, and who must literally fight with herself in order to keep her borderline psychopathic tendencies in check.

Twenty-six-year-old Afton has suppressed violent impulses for her entire adult life. And not just the kind that lead people to get in bar fights or slash tires: Afton's inner voice demands that she commits murder (think Dexter). But Afton is also a productive member of society, putting her moral compass at odds with her impulses. She combines her urges with reason and stalks a known sexual predator intending vigilante justice. The clearly guilty predator has never been charged by the all-male police force, and she intends to do something about it. But her plan, inspired by true crime fandom and hatched with meticulous care, is interrupted by a mysterious figure from her past: A dangerous man that lurks in the shadows, watching, threatening to turn the huntress into the hunted.

Go Home, Afton will hook readers from page one, as its faced-paced and action-packed plot hurtles toward its unputdownable and unresolved (until the next installment) conclusion. And readers won't have to wait long. The books in the series will be released in six-week installments. Book Two, See You Soon, Afton, delves further into our titular heroine's past as she continues on her troubled path for vigilante justice, now the suspect of a murder herself. Each book is novella length, and the entire series will be released together as a complete serial novel later this year.
