About this ebook
They're going to make you a counteroffer you can't refuse.
When a cooperating witness seems beyond reach, Don Rucker needs a killer capable of getting to anyone. The problem: Mort's a cantankerous wizard who doesn't care about the money. Enter Chuck Ramsey, who has one skill that the Rucker Syndicate desperately needs: he's friends with the most dangerous wizard in the galaxy. When Mort demands an outrageous sum for his services, the Ruckers' desperation forces them to meet his price.
Meanwhile, Brad, who inadvertently got those two involved, works his way up the lower ranks of the Rucker organization. Head down, nose clean, he finds that he likes this lifestyle. Young Jimmy Rucker, only a few years older and a member of the family, takes Brad under his wing. But how long can Brad survive when the crime bosses' daughters start taking an interest?
Life is a Crime Wave is the thirteenth mission of Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem. It follows a mismatched duo of itinerant comedian and outlaw wizard as they roam the galaxy trying to eke out a living and stay ahead of the consequences of their actions. Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem looks back at an earlier era in the Black Ocean universe, and returning readers will get to see how some of their favorite characters came to be. Fans of morally gray heroes and slick talking conmen will love this series.

I am a creator of worlds and a destroyer of words. As a fantasy writer, my works range from traditional epics to futuristic fantasy with starships. I have worked as an unpaid Little League pitcher, a cashier, a student library aide, a factory grunt, a cubicle drone, and an engineer--there is some overlap in the last two. Through it all, though, I was always a storyteller. Eventually I started writing books based on the stray stories in my head, and people kept telling me to write more of them. Now, that's all I do for a living. I enjoy strategy, worldbuilding, and the fantasy author's privilege to make up words. I am a gamer, a joker, and a thinker of sideways thoughts. But I don't dance, can't sing, and my best artistic efforts fall short of your average notebook doodle. When you read my books, you are seeing me at my best. My ultimate goal is to be both clever and right at the same time. I have it on good authority that I have yet to achieve it. Visit me at jsmorin.com
