Sometimes Second Chances Can Kill You

ATLANTA - June 11, 2013 - PRLog -- A lifetime Georgia native, he was born in Atlanta and now calls Acworth home. He resides there with his wife, children's book author Angela Muse, Tyler (9),Caitlin (6), a mother-in-law, an Australian Shepherd named Twiz, a black cat named Spooky, and the diva of the house, a grey tabby named Stormy.

He can't paint, sing, sculpt, or play a musical instrument, so he's decided to try his hand at writing, and the jury is still out on that. His hobbies include golf (terrible), traveling (hates to fly), obstacle racing (ugh!) and vacuuming (excels here) and he writes whenever he can: mornings between answering phones, in carpool waiting to pick up kids, and late at night when no one's a stirrin. He's just started on his next novel, Arnco, and hopes to have it out by mid-November.

From the moment he woke that early March morning, Chase Hampton knew, once he was released from prison later that day, he was never going back. No matter what.

Born into a wealthy but flawed North Carolina shipbuilding family, Chase was somehow immune to the dysfunction. The sky was the limit for the 18-year old football prodigy, until one terrible event changed the course of his life and prison became his new home. Through the highs and lows of his incarceration, there was one person he couldn’t forget, no matter how hard he’d tried: childhood best friend Bailey Masters. For reasons unknown to him, she'd shunned him ever since her mysterious return to Foggy Harbor at the beginning of their sophomore year.

Now, seven years into a twelve-year manslaughter sentence, Chase is given an unusual second chance, one that comes with its own set of rules. Suddenly, he's thrust into a position he's not ready for: the tip of the spear in a quiet war against an American enemy. A war that could cost him his family . . . and his life.
