Packet Man

All he wants is to get home alive. But when he barely escapes a violent ambush, can he survive a deadly race across the city?

 San Francisco, October 1989. Bennett Jacobs is okay with being square. With a loving spouse for company, the introverted software engineer doesn’t want or need to turn strangers into friends. But after the wife drags him kicking and screaming to a pool party, he reveals his computer smarts to a flamboyant artist dealing a popular street drug… and his life goes from blasé to bonkers.

 Arriving at his new acquaintance’s place to hack the encryption on a stolen floppy disk, Bennett is stunned when a rival gang tries to kill them for the formula. And after he discovers something isn’t right about the ingredients, the frightened programmer finds himself on the run from both the criminals and the cops.

 Can Bennett dodge the bullets and change this homicidal affair back to boring?

 Packet Man is a gripping urban crime thriller. If you like ordinary heroes, tense action, and authentic Eighties backdrops, then you’ll love Brian Paone’s treacherous sprint around the Bay.

Fright Feads Book Festival

I will be appearing at Fright Reads Book Festival:

Fright Reads Book Festival was founded in 2021 as a self-proclaimed Halloween pre-game. It is designed to be a one-stop shop for spooky book needs as well as quality horror decor and artwork. Author Harry Carpenter founded Fright Reads with the intention to put like-minded individuals into one room. Designing the event to cater to small, independent authors and businesses, he's strived to maintain that, as observed from the first annual event! As seen in the previous events, everything from candle makers to jewelers were featured to give everyone a chance to be showcased and succeed.
