Jan Hinds, author of Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8

Breads: Not So Secret Family Recipes Book 8 is a compilation of family recipes collected from five generations. The series is my effort to preserve and share these recipes so they don’t become lost.

Jason and his little brother Darius were born into the dope game. After being left to fend for themselves on the streets, they met George, a high level heroin supplier.

The characters were based on people that I know,  so they influenced the development of those characters. I also got inspiration from the corrupt government of the United Snakes Of America.
