We all wear masks, and Afton Morrison is no exception.
A small-town librarian with a dark side, Afton, twenty-six, has suppressed violent impulses her entire adult life. Impulses that demand she commit murder.
Blending her urges with reason, Afton stalks a known sexual predator, intending to kill him. But her plan, inspired by true crime 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 is the first of four parts in a new serial thriller by author Brent Jones. Packed with grit and action, The Afton Morrison Series delves into a world of moral ambiguity, delivering audiences an unlikely heroine in the form of a disturbed vigilante murderess.
Available for $0 (permafree) in eBook formats.
Did You Catch These “Go Home, Afton” Easter Eggs?
A number of the stories I’ve written (short stories, mostly) are set in the fictional Midwestern town of Wakefield. The Afton Morrison Series is no exception.
Wakefield, in terms of age, climate, landscape, and architecture, is loosely based on the Canadian border town I live in, Fort Erie. Wakefield, however, is a third of the size, much more rundown, and as evidenced by some of the stories I’ve published, home to endless tragedies and dangerous people.
To quote Terrence in A Book With No Pictures:
Picture the town you live in. Now picture it after a gruesome fire, an influx of unlimited methamphetamine, and an unemployment rate well into the double digits. That’s Wakefield.
After writing Fender last year, which was set in a number of real American cities over the course of a cross-country road trip, I thought it might be fun to invent a place that didn’t exist. It would give me free reign to mold the town—its people, industries, political values, economy, and local folklore—into anything I wanted.
It would also present opportunities to write stories, taking place at different times, that might overlap at certain points.
Such is the case with Go Home, Afton.
