Thanks for taking the time to read the story. Hope you will like it. Private Trouble was a writing exercise during my commute ride when I was in between full length books.
I brainstormed a series of Troubleshooter shorts, or novellas as Amazon classifies them. Private Trouble is the second, the first being Trouble at Christmas. Where Trouble at Christmas was to present a glimpse into Paul Trouble's roots, back home in Montana in the present day, Private Trouble is taking us over twenty years back, to when Paul was just becoming a Marine, waiting for his first deployment overseas. It's not the Paul Trouble we know from Troubleshooter, that world-weary, very resourceful but crippled and burned out forty-year-old version of the soldier we meet in Private Trouble. Young Private Paul Trouble enjoys time off, flirts with local college girls, and, of course, gets into local trouble. It shows his early deduction capabilities and his action-oriented approach to life, still somewhat unsure about his abilities, but confident that he will get there.
Give me feedback, I'd like to hear from my readers.
