    About this ebook

    Here are a couple of the editor’s favorite lines from the book:

    "She looked ten times better than the sexy women on TV and she had a voice made of satin. She could make you believe up was down and night was day with her voice and beautiful eyes. "

    "My dad told me: the problem is not when evil men stand up, but when righteous men sit down. I would not be a coward again. I would stand up and fight."

    AE Bartlett

    AE Bartlett's passion is articulating Truth - using multiple tools to express a thought, a concept or a belief. His first of four books was "Victims of Greed": an edgey young adult drama (coming of age thriller) dealing with a questionable charter named; John Wolf. The seconded book highlighted a grooms faulty concept of love, and his heart felt questions about is brides love - in the drama "How do you know its love". The third and fourth books were more on the dark side. The third book "Blade of Deceit" deals with dirty dealing, beguilment =(he made this word up), and murder. His last book "Yesterday is Giving me hell": Is written from a view of a man trapped in Hell - who thought he was going to heaven.

      Victims of Greed

      By Bartlett

      Chapter One: Morning Service

      My name is Johnny Wolf. It used to be Johnny Michael and I am on the run for crimes I committed. I grow up in an average home and I am the creation of my own devices. I have many regrets but none more than the night I earned the name Johnny Wolf by my unthinkable crime.

      It all started on Sunday morning when the family and I were in Church.

      My fellow members remember the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and fools despise wisdom and instruction, said Reverend Mathew from the pulpit.

      The pastor of the Church was Reverend Mathew, and he all ways ended services the same way.

      As we close this Sunday’s service, be kind and loving to one another. Let us pray.

      I usually slept during services. The Saturday night partying makes it hard to stay awake during Sunday services.

      Johnny, you can weak up now, Church is over. My mother shook my shoulder gently.

      She had this rule: if you live in her house you must go to Church on Sunday. Mom, Church is so boring and I have been listening to the same crap for years.

      My Dad always rode my back about how I was living. Johnny one day you are going to wish you had paid attention.

      Well on this Sunday, I had more than I could stand of his babbling. Dad I have heard it all before and I am so tired of you coming down on me about Church, whorish women and my friends. I did not like my Dad much. Ever since I could remember, he was always trying to tell everyone what to do, like he was some type of priest of our house. I do not want to live my life like you. I do not want to be like you. I do not even like you!

      Do not get me wrong, it was okay, when I was a child, but it is not cutting it now that I am a man. He might be bigger but he can’t tell me what to do. I could take him if I had to, but I cut him some slack because he is an old man.

      Johnny, please do not act like this in Church. Show some respect for your father.

      Mom I have had it up to here with you, Church, your rules and Dad’s blabbering.

      My mom and dad stuck together like, glue. Do not talk to your mother that way, boy! Johnny, if you say one more word . . . If anyone said anything bad to mom, my dad would have a fit, and if someone said something bad about my dad, my mom got spastic. . . . I swear. I will knock your teeth out the back side of your head."

      They were old school: bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, ’til death do us part
