Everyone Loves A Jewel Thief: Cold Open

Struggling novelist C. Scott Fredriksson needs a hit book before his agent drops him and he's stripped of his adjunct teaching position. Time to polish up some languishing manuscripts, right?

Wrong. Time for a jewel heist. Scott has it all figured out. A carefully scripted masterplan to rob a local celebrity of her prized possession and come out the other side showered with publicity and book deals.

But every heist needs a crack team, and Scott's top recruits are his old high school D&D group and their ragtag middle-aged townie friends coming in clutch with the getaway Geo Storm.

It'll either be the greatest story Scott's ever told, or someone will end up dead.

See how it all began in the standalone introduction to Everyone Loves a Jewel Thief, featuring an exclusive preview of the upcoming debut issue!
