You don’t mess with Atlanta Burns.
Everyone knows that. And that’s kinda how she likes it—until the day Atlanta is drawn into a battle against two groups of bullies and saves a pair of new, unexpected friends. But actions have consequences, and when another teen turns up dead—by an apparent suicide—Atlanta knows foul play is involved. And worse: she knows it’s her fault.
You go poking rattlesnakes, maybe you get bit.
Afraid of stirring up the snakes further by investigating, Atlanta turns her focus to the killing of a neighborhood dog. All paths lead to a rural dogfighting ring, and once more Atlanta finds herself face-to-face with bullies of the worst sort. Atlanta cannot abide letting bad men do awful things to those who don’t deserve it. So she sets out to unleash her own brand of teenage justice.
Will Atlanta triumph? Or is fighting back just asking for a face full of bad news?
Releases January 27th, 2015.

Amazing cover!! As a cover artist I am absolutely thrilled to see something so unique and well designed. It make me sad when people do covers themselves without having formal training or hire friends who kind of know Photoshop and end up having poorly designed covers. To me it does a book injustice to give it an inadequate cover. Kudos to you for a beautiful representation of your book!

Is this a re-release of Bait Dog? Regardless, it’s a kick-ass cover.

Ooooh, Pretty. I only wish it were out in time for Christmas because I know what I’d be asking for.

Anthony says:
Am I right in reading that this is a merge/slight re-write of the first short and Bait Dog? Or is it just a reprint that leads with the short and goes into BaitDog?
Either way, that looks awesome enough I need it in hard cover!

terribleminds says:
This is SHOTGUN GRAVY plus BAIT DOG, edited together and slightly (organically) rewritten so that the two become one novel rather than two separate stories!

Sounds intriguing! I like that she’s (at least at first?) backing away from the pursuit of justice ’cause it’s just too scary/dangerous… More realistic that way, room for her to grow? 🙂

Looks fantastic Chuck. Though I admit to a bit of disappointment only because I got so excited thinking it was a new Atlanta Burns novel!
