Mark Whelms, PI #1: Mind Games
18 year old Mark Whelms has just opened up business as a private investigator, and it wasn't long before he was hired for his first case: A bank robber who has no memory of robbing the bank. He must figure out whether the robber is actually innocent and, if so, who is the one really behind the crime. Looks like he will definitely get a chance to put his power to good use. AUTHOR'S NOTE This is the full novella in its entirety, free to read. I wrote this back when I was in high school and self-published. It's not a bestseller by any means and my writing and perspective has strengthened exponentially since its initial release. When you read this, read knowing that this doesn't exactly represent me and my skills as an author. There's another novel coming for that soon.Complete
