In a near-future, this is the three-strike law: first offence, rehabilitation; second offence, prison; third offence, exile. You don’t want to live by our rules? Fine. Go. Make your own rules.
LJ has just committed his third offence.
A novel about crime, punishment, and the social contract.

(originally published by Rock’s Mills Press in 2019)
A screenplay version of Exile was a Finalist in the WriteMovies competition and a Quarter-finalist in the Fade-In competition. (Interested parties, please inquire!)
If you’d like an ebook version, it’s available in Kindle, Kobo, NookBook, and iBook, but you can download it as an epub or pdf right here! For free. And here’s why.
If you’d like the paperback version, it’s available at all the usual online bookstore.
(And please note that you can still leave a rating and/or review on Amazon as long as you’ve purchased at least $50 worth of stuff from Amazon in the past year; just be sure to state that you received the book directly from the author. Ratings and reviews are important because the Amazon algorithm limits search results to exact title/author until a book has 25 ratings/reviews and doesn’t include a book in ‘similar to’ results until it has 50 ratings/reviews. Which means that known books become even more known, and otherwise good books remain unknown. Sigh.) (And/or without any Amazon involvement, you can spread the word by posting on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms.) (For which I say, ‘Thank you!’) (And please let me know so I can repost your review there!)*
